Day 8

Total miles: 2595
Total states: 9


Well, I got away around 7:00 for one of the longest driving days of the trip. This is by far the most states in one day so far in the trip. And most of 'em weren't too exciting.

Mile 1620: Leaving Lagrange

1630: Crossed border into Nebraska. Gas prices were 30 cents higher in Nebraska that around

1767: Crossed into the northeast corner of Colorado

1790: Back into Nebraska

1870: Crossed into Kansas. Western Kansas actually has more rolling hills and little tree-shaded streams than I imagined (although honestly I didn't imagine much). But there was certainly plenty of flatness.

2193: We're not not in Kansas anymore... although Oklahoma is slightly less exciting than Oz.

2340: Cruisin' through Oklahoma City.

2420: Crossin' the border into the great republic of Teay-xas.

2595: Arrived in Arlington, TX by 11:00pm. The two youngest (of four) cousins were in bed, but Everyone else was up to greet.

But, I gotta say. That BMW just devoured pretty close to a 1000 mile day with only two stops (gas, and gas) with very little discomfort on my part. She's now decorated with bugs from 9 states, with quite a few more to go!
