Day Five

Where Are Today

Texas Travel Information Center

Amarillo, TX

Quick reminder, if you are reading this on your phone, scroll down and click on web version, it will be easier to read.

This is a favorite spot to stop for the night, plenty of parking for cars, trucks, and RVs.

We were on the road by 7:40 this morning, leaving just as the sun was coming up. Getting back on I-540 to return to I-40W, it was a short jaunt to the state line.

Traffic was not bad

Once in Oklahoma, the great condition of I-40 changes to not so great. The section all the way to Oklahoma City gets a rating of 7 out of 10.

From west of Oklahoma City to Amarillo, I-40 had various conditions of pavement. Some sections were new and great to drive on. Other sections not quite as good, but certainly better than the beginning. Over all I am going to rate this section an 8.5 out of 10.

Settled for the night

We have had good weather today for the 447.2 miles of travel. Tomorrow, we hope to get to another favorite place, so come back and see if we made it.
