Day 10

Day 10: Grand Junction, CO to Amarillo, TX
Miles: 680
Gas Mileage: 40
Soundtrack: Chicago, Damn Yankees, Guys and Dolls, Into the Woods, Kiss Me Kate, West Side Story

This was a looong day. By the time I got up, they had opened I-70. There were still places where it was snow-packed and icy and made for some very scary driving. My car, that had been rinsed in a nice rain in Oregon, became filthy once more. I found that I desperately need new windshield wipers as well. There were some tense moments, but I made it. My plan was to attempt to camp at Lake Meredith again, but by the time I got through the construction in NM, and lost an hour, it was dark, I was tired, and I wimped out and got a room.

As you might have noticed, today was a musical soundtrack day. And my downfall...I know better, I really do! I sang and sang and sang until my throat was raw and scratchy.
