Road Trippin': Oklahoma City, OK to Santa Fe, NM

Saturday, June 28, 2008

Three weeks from today I'll be driving from OK City to Santa Fe where my friends Bram and Monica will be putting my up for the evening. It's my longest leg at 8 hours and probably the one leg with the most stuff to stop of and see. I'll need to leave OK City early on Saturday, try to get on the road at 7AM or so, and just start driving.

What am I most excited about? Elvis Stayed Here Hotel? The Blarney Stone? The Devil's Rope Museum? The 19-story Cross? The Swimming Pool Shaped Like Texas? The Helium Centennial Time Columns Monument? Cadillac Ranch? Some of Route 66's best scenes? Or something that I'm not even aware of?

It'll be a long, incredibly fun, day of driving. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Well, I can recommend the Testament To The Wonder of Helium, but Monica failed to show the proper respect when we visited.

And the thing to remember with Cadillac Ranch is that it's going to be on the other side of the highway, so go past and double back.

540+ miles? Figure we'll be seeing you late in the day. A margarita will be waiting.

I'm going to try to shoot pass OK City the day before to make this day a shorter ride.
