Day 3 - Oklahoma City, (I'm not gonna tell you which state)

Once again, nothing to eventful on the road today. Probably the most exciting thing was the 75 mph speed limit we encountered in Oklahoma. It was 70 most of the time in Mizzou and Oklahoma, but then we got a real treat. We drove about 500 miles total. These car rides are beginning to go more quickly. Maybe I'm just insane now, but 200 miles to drive before stopping for lunch, no longer seems that far. I think it's all relative. I remember when 100 miles seemed like a lot. And 3 hours in the car seemed like a full day. Well, those days are gone.

We have one more big day of travel followed a single night stay in Albuerquerque before heading to Sedona, AZ where we will spend two nights. It's really is neat to see so much of the U.S. I definitely recommend crossing the country by car or train or bus, when possible. Not that the troposphere isn't absolutely enthralling, 'cause it is. You just get a much better view of the landscape from ground level. We're all pretty tired tonight after a short night's sleep last night. Time to make up for missed sleep and prepare for one more big travel day before a break.
