Forced down another Wyndham breakfast and we headed west towards Amarillo on the I40 to prepare for the moderate risk day tomorrow. We're likely to be up around 05:00 for the first wave of weather, then breakfast around 09:00 and a think about the target area for hopefully supercells and large tornadoes in the afternoon. Current thinking is south of here towards Lubbock.
We had a leisurely meander off the I40 and onto the dying towns of Route 66 long since bypassed by the opening of the Interstate. This included a lengthy diversion around an accident on the I40. We had a picnic lunch post Walmart and Starbucks in a tatty Elmore Park in Shamrock Tx and I took the opportunity to dust down the Yashicamat 124 and take some film photos. We then paid a social visit to the Big Texan and its 72 oz steak. Kept checking the Marton cricket score - they won and Rory took 5-17. Well done son.
Stopped off in McLean which even for a Sunday looked desolate before checking into the Days Inn in Amarillo for a tasty New York steak and Armadillo IPA at the Texas Roadhouse.
Can hardly keep my eyes open, writing this up has been a struggle and the laptop refuses to connect properly to any WiFi so I need to use the iPhone wireless hotspot which is a pain.
It's now 11:00 and sleep awaits.
Total miles 297
