Trans-Texas Expeditions

About 30 minutes ago, we got our first shock of the trip. Rick is here in Truth or Consequences! This guy is hardcore. We thought he got on the road at 8:30 last night, but actually, he left Austin at 10:15! He just got here about an hour ago! We were all so surprised. The story of his vehicle problems is epic. I'll post the whole story later once we get Rick to actually go to bed. This guy is so wired naturally that even being up for 24 hours straight with 12 hours on the road has not de-energized him. His temporary lodging before we found out he was here is his suburban, The Beast. I'll post more pictures of it later.





We are enjoying the complementary continental breakfast before we head to the Trinity Site. They even have a waffle machine! That is so cool! (I need to get out more.) The coffee leaves a little to be desired though. Also, it's nice to see that I'm not the only geek here using a computer.

Rick is now heading to the room to get some shut eye for the next 3 hours. The rest of us are going to get ready for the next leg of the trip. More after Trinity.
