| I pretty much put the pedal to the metal to
get out of the eastern congestion. Even though I took the Appalachian
route with I88 to I81 to I40 it was still loaded with too much trucker
traffic for my liking. I took a 2 hour nap at a rest area in Western Virginia
and another 3 hours in a rest area in western Tennessee. Traffic dropped
off a considerable amount after I crosses the Mississippi River. I took
a room in Russellville Arkansas and after that stayed with friends in
Texas and Arizona as well as camping in New Mexico and Arizona. Took
half the time and almost a thousand miles left getting home from the
Albany area |

of the bridge going west still says "Welcome to Arkansas", I
remember when it included "Home of President Bill Clinton") |

| New sky scraper rise in Oklahoma City (many

| Bandera Volcano and Ice Cave
in New Mexico |

 |
| The ice cave stays icy all year because of the angle of
the opening and the surround basalt insulation |
