Alaska Day 27

Today SUCKED!!!!!! There is no other way to describe today. We pulled out of the motel in Walsenburg around 6:00 am and headed for Raton. At Raton we stopped and had breakfast with some lousy service. The food wasn't bad though. That was the highlight of the day.

From Raton we headed east on 64, which turns into 87 on the Texas side. At Dumas we headed south on 287 towards Amarillo. Once we arrived at Amarillo we picked up I-27 and continued south to Lubbock. At Lubbock we then headed south/east on 84.

It was hot, straight and boring. The temperature topped 100 degrees. Once we reached Snyder we called it a day. That should make a fairly easy day tomorrow to get home. The distance should be about 400 miles, and with an early start we both should be at our respective houses before the brunt of the afternoon heat.

Tomorrow HOME
