I'm at a humble Travelodge in Albuquerque, at the end of a long day driving. Got away c. seven o'clock this morning, and got Rm 234 at c. five-thirty PM. Out of the c. eleven hundred miles from Salt Lake city to Wichita Falls, TX, where my son lives, I've got just under five hundred miles left to drive tomorrow.

Although I had my camera handy, I wasn't very handy with the picture taking. The video links might convey a bit more of the atmosphere of the drive; but they are very rough too.

I had one very exciting episode on the drive down here. In Utah, at the end of Hwy 6, I picked up a white modified BMW sedan; couldn't tell you which kind because it was debadged; lowered; and with a tuned exhaust that he loved burbling at me. Cheeky bloke! It had dual exhaust so I presume a straight six. I was in the left lane passing him as he loafed behind a semi in the right lane. But as I was about to pass, he gunned it and went around the truck ahead of me. I just kept my cruise speed going. And soon enough I caught up with him again. He had slowed down. I went by with a straight ahead grin on my face (didn't even try to get a look at anybody in the car because it was too heavily tinted for that). Well, he wasn't having any of that. He shot up alongside and went slightly ahead and backed off so I could hear his tune, his music burbling. I let him go. A little while later, after I had interchanged onto I-70 and kicked up my cruise accordingly, here he was again and this time I went by with a good 10 MPH difference. Just in cruise control at 89 MPH. Next thing I know, here he comes flat out up from the rear and accelerating like a fiend. He barely slipped between my front bumper and the tail of a semi I was in the process of closing on to pass. The BMW angled through the narrowing gap and kept going. I latched on: just because he was there. I forgot all my resolve of last fall, not to follow on the tail of performance cars exceeding the speed limit. This was more than exceeding; it was thrashing the speed limit. I looked down and saw 135 (I flipped to the MPH LCD screen when passing things today). Then the BMW put on the brakes and I did likewise and stayed behind. Then I got off at a rest stop and he kept going.

I did the whole drive in Sport mode, using manual shifting. The best MPG leg was this last one: 28.5

Roswell is too far down for your trip to Wichita Falls, I just checked on google maps but make sure you stop at Clines Corners on the interchange on the I40(old Route 66) & Hwy 285 for gas/food/souvenirs I loved that place it’s in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks. I will try and time my bladder and gas tank to match that stop. I have only done this drive twice before and swept right by Clines Corners. I do remember seeing the billboards for it.
