Hey Dan Moore, you're #1. :D

So we stopped at a rest area and Larry went in and found out that they have 2 tornado shelters in there. So I guess I will sleep with my clothes on tonight, just in case. Keith and Tonya Lynch and Paul Dilcher are behind us in about Amarillo. Hopefully they are stopping for the night there.

What is Keith doing in texas? Southern route to Ohio--Maybe stop and try to get that FREE steak if you eat the 50 oz. sirloin?:eek:

Willy Buck the steak is 72 oz.

Jeff, I think you will own the record. It sounds to me that NHRA's paper work is not up to date. You have a very good car.

Larry, did you get my dog? We found a friend at the 1st rest area in New Mexico. The dog helped us inspect the motor home when we pulled in. Looked like a healthy happy stray with no collar. Looking at a can of Science Diet #7037 (what my dogs eat), there is a picture of the dog. It is a breed, I thought it was a retriever (it smiled all the time) cross with a shepard cause of the ears. It is a Japanese breed related to the husky. We didn't see the dog in the morning, otherwise he (or she) would be a resident of Louisiana. Anyone coming this way, check on my dog. Lots of time on my hands since the season is over.

Jeff we stopped at the rest area, walked around calling out " Here boy, Here girl" without success. In fact we put out cool clean water in a proper place setting, again no response. Fifteen min. later we were on the road. We were prepared, two rolls of stamps and a large empty wine box.

We made it thru the night fine. It is foggy this morning so we are a little late getting on the road. Looks like lots of rain and storms heading into OK and Arkansas.

Thanks Larry, and I hope that is the case and this all gets ironed out. Looking forward to meeting you some time at the races, and maybe we can laugh about this whole issue. Be safe driving home. Sounds like an adventure.

Well when we left OK a month ago, it was raining and it is raining again here in OK. Just been driving down the road. Oh, BTW, Larry fired me as tour guide after lunch today. We stopped for a buffet in Hinton, OK at the Sugar Creek Casino. Thought we could get some vegetables, plenty of truck parking. Well, Mike Rice must have been in charge of this buffet! Poorly run and bad food is the best I can say about it! Mark this one off your list.
