On Saturday, Ben was towed to Oklahoma City (about 120miles East of Elk City) and I pushed on by myself to Amarillo and on to Tucumcari, MN for the night (just like in the old Route 66 days "Tucumcari Tonight" signs are still up.
Stopping at some great locations on the way such as the Leaning Water Tower and the old Texaco Gas Station in Anreed, TX. Spent about 20 minutes at the Big Texan Motel to get some pictures and make my reservation in Tucumcari.
Stopped at the midway cafe (closed) and did get a picture of the midway point sign on Route 66.
Living on the edge it was time to test ones straight (who is afraid of ghosts anyway), by stopping at the ghost town of Glenrio, TX, this time on the TX NM border. Stopped here with by Brother in 2001 and found a vintage vending machine, this time I found the "real" state boundary marker, and no one came out to murder me or for that matter talk.
The push was on to do the next 45 miles and get to the Hotel to do laundry and have a swim in the pool.
Ben's bike was fixed by 4pm and he made to the 180mile dash to Amarillo and the Big Texan Motel.
