Day 17: Tucumcari, NM to Vinita, OK

Just a lot of riding today.  We started early, hoping to beat the heat again.  Jackets this morning, but not for long.  It was a hot one...something like 550 miles.  It is kind of sad looking at the old Rt 66, often a small two lane country road now, that parallels I-40.  Not much left along the route often called "Mother Road."

It's been a long ride, and we're on the home stretch.  Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Illinois, and Indiana...11 states, unless I missed one, and over 6,000 miles by the time we're done by Tuesday.
