This is another short post letting you know about the trip to Phoenix from St. Louis. We are currently in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we have stopped for a bite of food, gas for the van and switch over to the last driver of this trip to Phoenix. It took a bit longer than expected to get out of the St. Louis area on I-44 due to so much 4th of July fireworks activity. Finally, however we were on the freeway heading in a southwesterly direction. I was driving and we had a good run to Tulsa where it was time to gas up and go to driver number 2, Steven. Daylight wasn’t too far away as we got to Tulsa around 4AM. When Steven took over we stayed on I-44 until we neared Oklahoma City where we skirted around the city and hooked up with I-40 west of town.
As Seattle Sonics fans I couldn’t see us driving into OKC so we made sure to bypass the city as we were already as close to Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clayton Bennett than we wanted to be. We continued on I-40 crossing into north Texas and made our way to Amarillo where it was time to gas up and change drivers so that Shawn could get his turn at the wheel. By then it was 9AM so Shawn would have all daylight on his leg to Albuquerque. It was a straight shot there as we crossed into New Mexico and stayed on to Albuquerque where we are now and it is high noon as we stop for the food, gas, change drivers and get this post out. We are doing very well with the schedule and should be in Phoenix shortly after 5PM for the game tonight at 6:40PM. I’ve got another friend that we are hooking up with in Phoenix for the game tonight so I have more about the trip into Phoenix and try to get a pre game post out.
