DAY 30
Today I traveled through the valley of the Gods at sunrise which was awesome. From there I went to Albuquerque for a Toyota dealer and a hotel. I found a great dealer who worked me right in and only took about an hr. All American Toyota was the name I believe they were awesome. I spent some time talking with a women in the lobby from the area and she told me about a spot to check out for off roading and swimming. I will check those out tomorrow. I'm getting ever so anxious to get home. I miss my ol'lady and the dogs terribly. I only have 1900 more miles!!! That's not alot when you've already done almost 10k. I found the Best Western Airport Inn and pains $70 for a room, upon arriving I asked if o could upgrade to a Jacuzzi suite for only 20 bucks the guy said only 10 so guess what I got? This place is actually really nice. Of all the hotels I have stayed in, ever, this is probably one of the nicer ones. Everything is very clean, pool and Jacuzzi outside is nice and the have free snacks at 5. After I get out this hot tub, the outside one, I plan to wash my clothes, find a cool bar to go to, and then get some really good rest. Hopefully I will be much rested to make as much time and miles as possible tomorrow. I plan to be home Saturday hopefully. 1800 moles, at 60mph, 10hrs a day is 3.1 or 3.3 so I'm pushing it, that's OK cause that's my style!! Here are the pics from this am and the drive here.
I'm glad to see the Navajo believe the same as I do!
Till tomorrow, PEACE.

Great thread. It's really cool seeing the different climates and terrains in the US. Reminds me of some of the wide open spaces we have here in Canada. One day I'd like to road trip all around the US.

Search on here... But a couple of people have done side by side comparisons with the Walmart brand yeti cooler and an actual yeti cooler. The Walmart one for around $120 performed just as good. Glad everything is going good for you, although I don't know what I'm gonna do when you finally reach home my reality show will be over.

Lol. Yeah I saw the same comparison with the cups, after I bought mine. I will say cold I wasn't impressed but that thing keeps my coffee hot from 8to8 so it's worth it. I wish I would have spent the 100 on a cooler I believe I would have been better off

DAY 31
Not really a whole lot to report today as I feel like I'm stuck in repeat!! Drive, find place to drink, find place to sleep, repeat, you know Everyday life!! So I left ABQ and headed to a barber shop since my head was a straight catastrophe, classic barbershop hooked me up with a clean cut and nowbill have to fight the women off guaranteed!! From there I headed east and after driving for like 2hrs I realized I forgot to take a pic of the breaking bad house for Kristi. This was the only thing, other than bring home a rock, she asked and I failed. I was so pissed at myself I can't explain, and the main reason was because I forget what seems like simple stuff all the time! So what did I do? I sent Kristi a pic of the breaking bad house!!!
********!!!
I headed to rte 66 and even slowed down to hear America the great outside ABQ, I couldn't really make it out but knew it was something!! I ventured on to rte66 every time I saw a sign and stopped at the del for food which was good. After traveling some more I came to two of my stops the Cadillac Ranch
I found some white spray paint that I tried to paint my guy on one if the cars only to find the paint was almost out
From there I went to the spot that ibhad been saving my Steak taste for the whole trip
No I didn't try the 72oz Steak there is no way
I did have this though.
It was awesome. By the way they have one of these in the store
And evidently they are really common around here so I will show my respect to them by giving them space and letting them live if I see one. I feel everyone could do the same thing.
I looked up BLM land to find that there is only one spot in TX and it's used to produce helium for profit and closed to public. I then went to a handy site I wish that I would have found earlier called freecamps or something around that nature, just Google free camps around me and it show up. I found that I could stelth camp at the travel center in Amarillo. I pulled in to check the spot out and it seems str8 so I rearranged the truck drank my last beers and decided to go to the local Buffalo Wild Wings since it was across the street so I could watch some TV and get tired. Tomorrow I plan on hauling *** and making up as much time as possible to get home. Here are some pics from today's travels.
Del's serves both Mexican and American food, I felt strange ordering Mexican from a place like this but it was pretty good
By the way this is the worst rap song ever my god!! Why must they play it over and over??
Almost home
All flat
Wind mills for days collecting mother earths energy. I look forward to a day that this is the only way we get out energy, renewable energy really needs to be the only way you know.
Hopefully i wont get any slack for stelth camping at the teavel center!! I saw a few RVs set up so i should be good. Til tomorrow, peace.

What's up guys. I finally pulled over for some rest and to be honest it's so busy here and I'm so close I almost have second thoughts about it. I really should get a little rest even though it's tough. I'm at a pilot truck stup just on the Georgia border off 20. I'm 4hrs from home according to the GPS which has me ever so anxious. I can't wait to get into my bed my chair see Kristi the dogs get some rest the whole deal. I don't have much of a report for today for the simple fact that all I did was drive my *** off from Amarillo to here.
So rather than talking about today's activities I will outline what I plan to do in the coming days in regards to the trip since I will ha e some time before going to Bike Week.
1 Make a list of everything I brought
2 Review the various items I brought with video and text
3 Make a wish list of things I would have and done to the truck if money wasn't an option
4 summarize as best I can my trip and some of the take aways
5 start and hopefully complete a slideshow video with the music that I jotted down along the way as the sound track
And take ideas for other projects in regards to the trip.
I should be home tomorrow rather early since I feel I won't get very much sleep here. Lucky tomorrow is Saturday so Atl traffic won't be too terrible, although I really don't think it can compare to LA traffic. Here are a few pics from today, again sorry it's not much but there really isn't much.
Trees were a welcomed site
Hills were too
This looks like my kinda place!!!!
Had to stop at one of my all time favorite fast food joints from when I lived in Texas
I'm a fan of Rat Rods but this?
Memphis, I wish that I could have stopped at the famous BBQ place. I was in a hurry and not hungry
By the way. This whole trip I ha e fought with ATTs poor service. I really hate the VZW pissed me off because their service is far better.
After that it got dark
Till tomorrow, PEACE.
