Today was a hot and windy drive. We saw temps at 109, and winds coming at 20MPH with gusts at 32MPH for 125 or more miles. Not a fan. Here are some photos

Picnic spot in Chandler Oklahoma
The flies here were plentiful. It was hot. The slide was metal and would give you a permanent souvenir. Otherwise it was nice. Ish. But the flies. Ewww.

We hit traffic
Really tho. So we took a regular detour on a regular road but Tom who has never been here before thought we should go up a bit more before getting on the freeway. I’m pretty used to this.

Meanwhile on Route 66
I managed to miss a bunch of spots. So I found this and took a picture from the car.

Texas
This was some rest stop / tornado shelter. I guess it makes sense to shelter where there’s a bathroom.

Onward
Let’s get out of Texas. Saw a guy just walk into a grocery store with a big gun. Not a fan. Tomorrow we will see Cadillac Ranch and Pippy the Penguin before exiting this state. We will be headed to Flagstaff, and might drive through the painted desert.
