Destination: Springerville, AZ End of day Odometer Reading: 219,883km Getting to Roswell a day early has provided us with a bit more flexibility for the rest of the trip, and we will likely stay an extra day in San Francisco as well as one more day in Vancouver than we had originally planned. Jeff felt […]
Destination: Roswell, NM End of day Odometer Reading: 219,324km We started the day off in Luling, TX; woke up around 10:00 or so and headed over to City Market for some early lunch. It’s an interesting place, you go in the front and walk to the smoke room in the back which has its own […]

Destination: New Orleans, LA End of day Odometer Reading: 217,430km We left the truck stop mid-morning on our way to New Orleans. We figured we’d find one of the other USA-only restaurants on our list to visit for lunch. The first while of driving was pretty uneventful, but at least it was lightly raining and […]

Destination: Memphis, TN End of day Odometer Reading: 216,358km We had originally planned on heading back to Oklahoma Joe’s for a BBQ order to go to take along with us on the trip to Memphis; however we didn’t want to wait for them to open at 11:00, so we headed out around 9:30 from the […]
Destination: Kansas City, MO End of day Odometer Reading: 215,545km Woke up this morning at the Flying J truck stop again, we’ve spent the last couple of nights here, and will be here tonight as well.

Destination: Kansas City, MO End of day Odometer Reading: 215,330km Having determined that the muffler (which had only been holding on with some almost rusted-through piping) had broken off of the exhaust pipe on Day 3, we decided to stop in at an Autozone and buy some sort of repair kit. After buying a kit […]
Destination: Kansas City, MO End of day Odometer Reading: 215,189km Waking up at the truck stop outside of Denver, we decided that it wasn’t really worth the extra time to head back into Denver to eat at Steuben’s, so we had breakfast at the truck stop restaurant instead. Despite horrid service, the food was quite […]
