Day #2

We left Arkansas at around 7:30 central time and crossed the state line into Texas within an hour and learned some new things there....1-staying in the left lane without passing anyone is illegal in Texas. 2-going 83 in a 70 doesn't make the cop any happier! 3-being a city fireman does help;) The pictures of us in Dallas are us in front of North America's largest ferris wheel and in front of the cotton bowl. We saw thousands upon thousands of windmills, oil wells and what we are calling the vast untundra. After 12 or so hours driving in Texas we reached New Mexico. We arrived in Carlsbad and went to the national park to see an estimated 400,000 bats leave the cavern (sorry, no pics allowed) and got free rootbeer floats from Sonic on the way back home:)682 miles in all today. We have seen lots of cacti and found out that any rest stop with 4 picnic tables and a port-a-potty isn't a rest stop.
