Day Two: WOW

My favorite picture of me ever!

Me and my boo

LONG DAY! Seriously..... Long day! Got a late start. Had to fix the engine cover that busted yesterday and get a new brake light for the truck.

628 miles, and got to Amarillo around 1:45 am. Long day from my sisters place in Arkansas. Annie Grace and Julie (my nieces) are too cute. Long first part of the day, but the ever frequent stops for gas.....every 158.1 miles (as per yesterday) was greatly needed and exciting. Through Oklahoma and saw this giant wind farm. Jolie cooked dinner (PB&J). It was nice to hang there for an hour or so.

Very cool, almost cold at night. I was super cold rolling into town, which was a nice change. Rigged up a back rest with sleeping bags that allowed me to ride semi-comfortably.

I had a couple of first for me today. I sneezed, yawned, even pasted gas......had a pleasant rain experience.... Light and cooled me off. It was REAL hot during the day. It was fun to take pretty pictures and hang on the side of the road. Everyone who drive by was like.... "What the hell are you doing" and we were like "chillin' Miss my babies today. Heading to Colorado tomorrow. Peace!

Day 2- Little Rock to Amarillo

I learned this move from Tyra

good Samaritan Samuel taking gas to a stranded biker

So, we made our exit from Sheridan, AR around 11 this (yesterday actually) morning and we've just settled down in Amarillo, TX..... at 1:45 am. What a long day. It was good though until that last stretch when i was consumed with the thought that if i was tired, then Sam must be super tired and that worried me. I am a worried if you didn't know, but i come by it honestly- thanks Mom. While driving I at least have the luxury of talking one the mobile or texting.... i know you shouldn't text and drive but.... at least i don't do it in traffic.
We stopped for lunch just before the last miles of Arkansas in a little town outside of Fort Smith. The locals seemed nice enough, but there were more flies there than any one town should have. One of the winged beast decided to become my travel companion and graced me with his presence for the nest 100 miles. Several times I tried to roll down the window and set him free, but each time, he avoided the vortex i had created and buzzed around the truck. I guess I should just be grateful, that for a short leg of the journey, I had company.
Anyway, driving across OK was beautiful. There were lots of huge clouds that every now and then showered us with drops of cooling water. They were the kind of clouds that you could to curl up on and read a book or take a nap. They stayed with us all day and made a beautiful backdrop for the field of windmills we gawked at for over an hour.
Ok, enough. I am rambling on and i'm sure you are tired or reading. I am going to bed!!
sweet dreams-
