WE made it through the night… just. I didn\u2019t want to leave too early, due to seeing creepy things crossing the road, so left around 8am. It was a Saturday and a few other people were out and about, so I hoped they\u2019d scare any critters off the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was another long drive and we crossed into Texas today. It was long, straight, boring and hot. We stopped in Amarillo for a Bucc-ees fix. This is a Texas chain of services, which have a bit of a cult following, with a beaver as its mascot. We didn\u2019t really \u201cget\u201d it, but we had a bbq briskett sandwich here once, and it was really nice. So we decided to treat ourselves. It wasn\u2019t quite like we remembered, and was really sweet. But it was a good place to break up the monotonous journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
