Tuesday: Houston, TX to El Paso, TX – 748 miles
Since we got in so late we needed to sleep in so we got a late start again. We still had over 1000 miles to drive and the thought of doing that with no stereo was not appealing. We found the local Best Buy and rewired the stereo right there in the parking lot.
With the tunes bumpin’ we rolled out of Houston and hit the road hard. Luckily, this was one of the first things we saw:
Weather was still great and the car was running awesome, so we really started chewing up some road. This stretch was really desolate and we were trying to make up time by limiting our stops. That almost got us into trouble. At the last fuel stop before El Paso, this is how much fuel I pumped into the 18 gallon tank:
Needless to say, that wouldn’t have gotten us to the next station. This was the only gas stop that no one said anything about the car, but that’s probably because there was absolutely no one else around.
