| Sun coming down over US84 |
After registering the car in Texas to avoid state income tax, replacing the battery (Thanks G) and cleaning it up ready for the road we managed another 550 miles drive on the road West from Texas yesterday. We crossed into another timezone, mountain time, which is 7 hours behind the UK. We saw nothing but windmills, oil drills and cattle ranches on the long, straight road US84. We did see a cool sunset and eventually decided to spend the night in civilisation, Roswell, New Mexico. Famous for the alien landings of 1947, but the only alien we have seen has been a Limey in a Chris Johnson jersey.
Our aim is to get to Flagstaff, Arozona today, by driving on some of Route 66. Flagstaff is a place which ranks high in both of our favo(u)rite places on the earth and see the Grand Canyon, letting the Beagle sniff out some wildlife. So it would be rude not to spend a few days there.
We know we have told everyone about this blog, but just let us know you have checked in with us on Facebook, please!
Total miles: 2081
