DAY 1 AND 2

After a late start Sunday morning we managed to make it all the way to El Paso, 440 miles. The late start was due to a long breakfast when over twenty family and friends showed up at Denny's to see us off. After visiting, several "photo ops," picking up Bruce's bike and hugs we were on our way. Lunch in Wilcox and then dinner in El Paso at the Stateline Restaurant, a decent steak house. A good meal was necessary to celebrate the first day on the road. By the time we got back to the motel I was way too tired to update this.
Day 2 we got a much earlier start after a light breakfast at the motel we were on the road by 7:30. The scenery slowly changed from desert to greenery with oil wells, and wind turbines, somewhat more interesting scenery. Day 2 was all on Interstate 10 with an 80 MPH speed limit. Lunch was a Subway in some little town of 2000 I think it was called Fort Stockton, JB had to visit the Free Clinic but that's a completely different story. We managed to keep driving with a strong head wind and made it to Junction Texas, about 120 miles west of San Antonio. This gave us about 445 miles for day 2. This is farther than I thought we would go in the first two days but Jan has a goal of get the hell out of Texas as fast as possible.
