Yeah, I could have echoed that thought as well. Going west to east, after driving throug AZ and NM with 75 MPH limits, you might forget Texas drops to 70. At least on Interstate 40.
The above all being said, I always take the southern route any more. There is less desolation, and I dread the climb to the Eisenhower Tunnel. I'm also eager to see the tornado damage in Joplin, one of my favorite stops along the way. I felt so bad for the people of Joplin....I always enjoyed the town and the pleasant service I received everywhere, be it a motel, restaurant, or truck stop. It will be interesting to chat with some of them in the days ahead.
I would rather drive coast to coast in our magnificent America than to tour the rest of the world in any way. God bless 'er. [[Oh! She has!)
