Ok- it took us until afternoon. Life on the open road has its share of tractor trailers, big rigs, and motor homes with vehicles attached. We were happy to tool along in our little car and enjoy the generally green fields. The rains have made plant life very happy. For those who have not had the opportunity to traverse west Texas, we must report that it is flat. 180 degree flat. Stand on a tuna can and see Reunion
Tower flat.
By 3:00 we were able to fulfill one of Bob's dreams. We stopped for a steak dinner at the world famous "Free 72 oz. Steak Dinner" place which is advertised every 5 miles as you buzz across the prairie. In order to get this free steak you have to eat all the meat, a multiple shrimp appetizer, salad, potato with all the fixins, and several rolls and butter within one hour. Without barfing...
Did Bob try this - no. But we eat plenty. Our waiter Cody took care of us and we looked at all the dead stuff on the walls. Lots of dead stuff - see attached picture. They do have big timers on the wall so the whole room can watch you attempting to gorge yourself...
Bob and Linda, I almost feel like I am on the trip with you. This is going to be the funnest month of my life traveling the great highways with the two of you. THanks for sharing the fun! Sure love you and Miss you already. Robynn
