Day 4: Tulsa, OK to Albuquerque, NM

OK, I'm not sure what is up with Mapquest, but they said this day would take approximately 9 hours. BOY WERE THEY WRONG. We left Tulsa, OK at 10:00 AM and finally arrived in Albuquerque, NM after several hours of bobbing and weaving through mountains and 18-wheelers at about 11:45. That sounds more like 14 hours to me, not 9. And before you say it, no I didn't set the clocks so actually local time it was 10:45.

The highlight of the day was an unexpected stop at the Oklahoma City National Memorial which commemorates the events surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing in April of 1995. We also stopped at the Western Hemisphere's Largest Cross in Texas. Interesting little stop. We had to stop at the Largest something-or-other in Texas, since everything is larger in TX.

By the end of the drive, I was effectively psychotic with the only thing keeping me going is the desire to get to a nice comfy bed. When we finally arrived at the hotel, my Ford Focus check engine light came on. A perfect end to a perfect day hopefully its just the gas cap that wasn't fully tightened yesterday at my last gas stop.

Night everyone, we deserve it tonight.
