There are several screens you can use on the Garmin. I sort of like this one, especially the elevation reading. As you can see, it says I'm running 80 mph here....

Jack and Karl. I made it to Holbrook by noon, had been driving 75-80 all morning to make it, and had to make up the hour I spent in the traffic because of the wreck on the interstate. Sure is good to see these friendly folks again!

Barb and Bev in the Foree back yard. Looks a little bare, the leaves aren't out yet.

Jack took us out to one of Holbrooks finest eating establishments! We had a very good lunch here. And a nice ride in Karl and Bev's very comfortable portable bedroom on wheels!

Bev and Karl, Barb and Jack. A delicious lunch! I had to sort of rush, since I needed to make it to Kingman to get into the house and to pick up the Burgman since Ed and Carl will be out of town all day tomorrow. I made it, but had a few problems with keys and stuff I won't bother to go into here

Navajo ladies in Holbrook

The "Casa Foree" in the early Spring. This has been home to several vroc people over the years.

Holbrook is full of old Historical places to visit. This Wig Wam Motel is still in business, and one of the best known places on old Route 66. It's right across the street from the more famous business, you'll see it in the next picture.

The most famous business in Holbrook, Arizona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geronimo used to live in the Tee Pee on the bluff up there.

The Twin Arrows give shop. Another of the few old tourist traps that's still standing on Route 66.

These mountains are near Flagstaff. The elevation of the highway here is 7322 feet at the pass. From here, it's almost all down hill to Kingman. I took pictures when I got there, but put them on a new 4 GIG super fast card, and just found out the card reader in this laptop won't read it. I'll have to wait 'till I get home and take them off the camera...I'll used a different card for the rest of the trip.

This is Camy, Agent 99's kitty. I spent the night in the guest room, and was awakened at 6 AM with Camy sitting on my chest staring at me.. Guess she's used to holding revellie, since this is an Army house.

This is for Susan Zmean1. I don't know what kind on birds these are, but I passed 3 different flock of them in the Hill Country. They sorta looked like buzzards. Maybe they think Susan will be heading for the HCR, and are just waiting!

Seems like there are more Indian Paintbrushes this year..they are everywhere.

Had to take at least one picture of the Blue Bonnets. They are out in all their Texas Glory, lining all the highways.

Another small Texas town. I went through a lot of them today.

I'm starting to leave the Hill Country. From the Large Oaks, bright green Mesquites, and many, many flowers, it's starting to look more like West Texas...Lots of goat farms, some sheep, and a lot of cattle of various kinds. Even passed a couple Llama ranches.

Passed a lot of these sort of different flowers. They look like Indian Paintbrushes, but they are different shades of red, almost blue and purple. They are all over along the road sides.

I stayed off the Interstates all day, and really enjoyed going through MANY small Texas towns. I don't remember which one this was, but they are old and interesting. From just a few stores, to large ones like this.

This farmer has it all! Oil wells, wind generators, some bales of hay, and it's all in an active cotton field!

Passed hundreds (maybe thousands) of wind generators today. Miles and miles of them.

Sweetwater, Texas. The home of the Spring Rattlesnake roundup. It's a festival they have every year. This quick stop had the cleanest restroom I've ever seen in Texas! It was spotless, even had some fake flowers. Nice touch.

Lots of different prices for diesel today. So far, it's been the lowest priced in Missouri, at $3.78 in one place I saw.

I've been driving up and down Hwy 84 for a lot of years. There have been times when almost all the wells were idle. Some were even capped off. Today, I think everyone I passed (hundreds) were all pumping away. There is still a refinery in Big Springs (I think), but diesel was $4.15 a couple places close to it.....I paid $3.99 awhile ago, the cheapest I'd seen today.

Saw several of these colored pumps...some blue, some green, some black with red on them. Most of them I've looked at in the past have all been black.

Muleshoe, Texas. Used to be the home of Little Joe's boot store, they stocked over 10,000 pair of boots, exotic skins, and had good prices. The now have a larger store in Clovis and another in Lubbock, but none in Muleshoe!

Fort Sumner. This is where Billy the Kid is buried. They have 2 museums here in town, both very interesting. You can visit the grave too.

I decided to stop in Santa Rosa, New Mexico for the night. Spent $205 at the diesel pump! Got a nice room in a Travelodge..I've found some of these are good, some aren't. This one is very nice. And next door is this diner where I went to eat.

Like most businesses along Route 66, this Diner has plenty of tourist stuff.

The other end of the diner. I had a Mexican combination plate. It was good, but I was too hungry to remember a picture.

The color didn't come out well, but his is a bright pink Red Bud. They are in full bloom all over southern Arkansas.. The white Dogwoods are just starting to pop out too, In a couple more days, the woods will be full of color!

The weather today has better today than any other on the trip so far! Beautiful!

Way down yonder in the "Indian Nation"!

Still lots of flooding. Hard to believe that just yesterday there was sever weather in this area.

White caps on Lake Eufala in Oklahoma. Water is muddy from the storm. It's windy today, but warm and nice

Another place selling bedding plants. Gardening is a real big thing down here in South Eastern Oklahoma.

It's garden planing season here, and there are places along the road selling lots of flowers and vegetable plants, ready to plop in the ground.

I stopped in McAlester, OK today to wash the truck and the 900. This is a 3 week old goat. Her mother died in birth, so this family raised her with a bottle. She's very tame, and obviously don't know she's a goat. The Mom and Dad were washing their truck, and this teen age boy had the baby sitting duty.

I passed several fruit stands along Hwy 69 today.

I can't remember which city this is, but it's famous for Magnolias....

Just crossed the Red River! Welcome to the lone star State of Texas!

Are we in Texas? Yep, it's a huge Metro Area full of big business and every restaurant chain in America,....and lot of places of entertainment!

It took me 1.5 hours to get through Dallas..rush hour on a Friday afternoon. It's probably about 25 miles, stop and go traffic. Came in on Hwy 75 to 45, to 30 to 35, then South to Hwy 190 and West to Copperas Cove, where Kathy lives.. (Agent 99)

Happiness is Dallas, Texas in the rear view mirror.

The first ride! While I was moving the truck, Kathy rode around the neighborhood and put it into her garage. Since I was held up so long in Dallas, it was dark by the time I got there.

A Buell, a very nice 800 A, and now the 900 Classic. This lady knows how to fill up a garage. She's still moving in, and hasn't unpacked everything yet. She also drives a new RED Mitsubishi Eclipse!

Agent 99 in her new living room. She has a nice 4 bedroom home, just her and a nice brindle colored kitty.

Kathy just transfered the money from her savings to checking! Hmmmm....wonder what she's going to do with that! :-)

All the little ditches and streams are over flowing their banks today. There are lots of new lakes in this part of the country today! But, it's warming up and getting very humid. In the 70's now, radio is saying 80 later this afternoon. More storms are in the forecast.
