Day 2 -- Recovery is often hard

We were excited last night after we arrived late. Still we were around the bed at midnight or so. We were pumped and were going to do another 460 miles. I hopped out of bet at 6:30 AM and made noise. We all stired and began doing things. At 9:30 we left. Where did the time go?

We spent about an hour trying to get photocopies of our paperwork. Henryetta is a small town and we did not find many options for photocopies. We met some nice people but no copies. About 10:30 we were off.

Noon came and we were at Oklahoma City. Paul needed to stop. After an hour we were off again on a secondary road that paralled I-40. It got really hot (102 F). The wind was blowing about 30 miles an hour from the south and it felt like a sona, especially where the fields were plowed and the bare clay was baking like a brick. We made it to another small town and we all need to stop for a while. From there we head back to the interstate to make up some time.

When we arrived at the interstate and recalculated our route we discovered we were still 260 miles from our destination. We decided to press on in the heat the 150 miles to Amorillo where we found food and rest. It looks like about 600 miles tomorrow into the Rocky Mountains.
