S2KDays 2018 - Day 4

For the most part, today was again, miles and miles of boring Oklahoma and Texas plains. I did notice that the panhandle of Texas sure had a lot of oil wells and related activity.

The only highlight worth posting was lunch, in Canadian, Texas, in the Panhandle, on the way to Amarillo. Here are a couple pics from there:

This was a steakhouse in a classy building. The lady at the gas stop recommended it, and she was right! Pure Texas. For my Canuck friends, the town is really named Canadian. Don't know the reason. Oh, I had a smoked turkey sandwich. :)

The town admin building:

My destination for the night was Clovis, NM. On the way here, the road (US60) paralleled the BNSF  railroad tracks. It seemed that every 5 miles or so, I met a loonng train, either running north or south, most of the time with puller and pusher engines. Apparently, the rail commerce is alive and well! Time to buy stock?

Finally, today's GPS tally:

Texas has done one thing right, and that's their realistic speed limits. On most of the 2 lane roads, the limit is at least 65, A lot are 75, and that's MPH, not KPH! (Must have hit 90 in a tight passing zone.) It's all downhill from here!
