After checking out Graceland and filling up on Memphis BBQ, we saddled up and tore through Arkansas and Oklahoma, finally reaching Amarillo at 2am. At every stop, the locals initiated every conversation with a hypothetical, "you're not from around here..." Hypothetical because, of course, this rag-tag group of ford-focus-driving, north-face-wearing, word-enunciating northerners stuck out like a sore thumb.
On day 3, we completed our trip across the Texas panhandle and watched the flat cow-lands transition into a brick-red desert with snow-capped peaks in the distance. After arriving in Albuquerque we consulted Roadfood and settled for a Tex-Mex restaurant in Duran Central Pharmacy. The heat from the salsa made us sweat out the BBQ sauce we had saturated ourselves with the previous two days.
From Albuquerque we split up: Chris and Karl to Tuba City, Holly to Shiprock, and me to Fort Defiance.
