Day 69, 70 and 71 - Driving from Santa Fe, NM to Memphis, TN

Day 69
We drove 300 miles today and stopped in Amarillo, Texas for one night. We are back into summer temperatures and shorts. Tomorrow we drive to Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is almost a straight shot along the I-40 from New Mexico to Tennessee. Along this route there are many segments of the original cross country highway, The Mother Road, Route 66. Some day we hope to drive the original road or at least what is left of it from Chicago to LA through 8 states. Lots of 60s memorabilia along the way.

Day 70
Another 450 miles today driving from Amarillo, TX to Alma, Arkansas

Day 71

The last 260 miles today from Alma, AR to Memphis, TN staying in West Memphis area in Marion, Arkansas.

Tomorrow we go to Memphis to tour Graceland and sample BBQ.
