If I remember correctly from our trip in '95, John and I got to Gainesville on the first night, after a big dinner at the Polynesian with you and friends, post-packing the truck. We got to Hammond, Louisiana for second night somewhere along I-12. We cut diagonally across Louisiana on the third day, through Shreveport by afternoon, Texas state line by sunset, then to Dallas for third night (at FuzzyFox's place in Lewisville). I would have liked to have visited Terrell TX and Verdun manor, but it was out of the halloween season, and getting late.
They say the West begins at Ft. Worth, and sure enough we spotted a Jack in the Box after leaving FuzzyFox's place on the next morning. We tried getting lunch in Abilene, but couldn't find an appealing BBQ place. We took Business route 20 into the city, missed where the road designation took a zig-zag and ended up on a side street that was troublesome to turn around in. We instead had lunch a bit of a ways farther at a small roadside stop in Merkel, TX. John said it looked like catering for "Terminator 2".
Thanks for your updates from the road. It almost feels like I'm going along for the ride.
