Hmph. If you think Tennessee is boring, just wait until the last 2 hours closing in on Amarillo. Other than the escarpment east of town, nada to look at but silos and grain.

Well, you have one reader in Norman, OK (just South of OKC)…I’m actually headed in the reverse direction on I-40, out to NC, on Saturday.

Where is it you’re going? Arizona? Well, let me know if you go through Seattle to get there from Little Rock. I wouldn’t let anyone else know that if I were you, but let me know.

Nit: It was a Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, not an Abrams. And, in the earlier thread about your drive I suggested you stay off the interstate because they’re boring. Now that you have proven that to yourself, get onto the 2-lane. It’s fun!

Matthew’s right; the Delta section of Arkansas is hard on the eyes. Arkansas is actually a quite pretty state, but you have to go north to the Ozarks, or to the forests in the south/southwest, to really get it. (I know, because I live in Jonesboro, about 70 miles north of the path you took on 1-40 over the Mississippi River.)

I swear I saw that same Volvo with that same sticker when I crossed the Mississippi on my way from Charlotte to Tucson. This was in Vicksburg though. That’s mighty weird.

lemme know if you’re coming through Austin to get to Amarillo. I’m sure there’s lots of readers here…

A better link for my beloved former home city of Knoxville would be http://www.southknoxbubba.net/skblog/. That is what the town is really like! Tom

The last two hours from Memphis to Little Rock is the roughest part. Flat, flat, flat with lots of rice farming as far as the eye can see. Had I known you were staying in Little Rock we’d have rolled out the welcome committee. (‘We’ being the two CT readers in LR!)

Clearly you were involved in a fatal motor crash on the first day of your trip and are actually descending into Red State Hell.

But have you seen one of these yet? I took that picture a couple of weeks ago when driving toward the Indiana Dunes.

I wonder if there are any readers in Amarillo.

If you make it as far as Flagstaff, yell “Yo, Biff!” out of the window….
