I was witness to the following spectacle as Martin and Lloyd saw us off the premises.
Sandia did the job in good time but I wanted to get a couple of items from Radio Shack and REI. Ally and Sandy agreed to come along so we arranged with the others that we would miss out on the visit to Roswell and go direct on the Interstate to Lubbock where we were to stay the night. That was the plan.
Of
course the interstate was motorway boring
but we did tick some want to see boxes.
We ran parallel to the first train of the day which Ally clocked at 1.3 miles long!!!
The second train we saw was a container train but unlike any I have seen before in Europe the containers were stacked two high.
We smelt before we saw some stockyards south of the road - intense
We got as far as Amarillo about 4:30pm and realised from there we were about to go a hundred or two miles south for no real benefit as we would come back round north and east the next day en route to Sulphur OK. We booked into a motel and stayed over, poping out in the evening to a bar which was very quiet but friendly.
On to Sulphur to meet the others next day.
