November 6 and in the Lone Star state in Amarillo, TX.

I was not impressed with the National Rte. 66 Museum in Elk City. It is a collection of museums. My interest was the 66er but there was nothing in it that one couldn’t find in any museum on travel or cars. I can only hope the one in Clinton, OK is better. We did some more clicks on Rte 66 and hit some more towns along the way. Some of 66 is the right side of the 4 lane highway (40 I) when heading west. We visited a small transportation musem as part of the 66 conglomertate and that was fun. We sat in a pink Cadillac of the 66 vintage and a movie of parts of the 66er played on the screen in front of the windshield and they had recorded the sound of going over the seams in the cement slabs. There was also a red 59 chev to sit in at a drive-in movie and a movie in black and white called something The Creature Returns played on a screen.

Tomorrow I hope to travel some of historic Rte 66. We pick up another time change and move into another state as the panhandle of Texas is narrow. One of the towns we were in was Eric looking for gas; no diesel. This was the birthplace of two musical fellas. One was Sheb Wooly and the other was??????? Here is another chance to win, if you can tell me the song Sheb Wooly wrote and recorded.

The sky is so big here. We were traveling at 3000 ft across a plain; not a mountain or serious hill in sight. Cows are abundant. Cotton is a crop I did not expect to see in Texas. The sunset was incredible.

I think our destination is Santa Rosa NM unless we can make it to Albuquerqee.

Cheers.
