The route through Texas is desolate and is dotted with abandoned cars and houses. Even so, it was beautiful. Sad, too, that the these places had seen better times before the days of the interstate. There were some filling stations along the way that have been restored. Speaking of 'filling stations' we stopped in Amarillo for a very filling meal at the Big Texan. It's not directly on the route but it's a tradition for those traveling the road. Well worth the visit. In Adrian we passed the halfway point between Chicago and Santa Monica. We also saw the famous Cadillac Ranch. If you don't know what that is then click here for more Texas pictures. The day ends in Tucumcari, New Mexico.
"Open -road travelers are made more than born. They are as different from theme-park tourists as anything you can imagine. Tourists rush; travelers mosey. Tourists look for souvenirs; travelers seek out the souvenir makers. Tourists want to see all the right places; travelers simply go into the country. Travelers are openly romantic about the going itself, the adventurous possibility of it all."
