Did a marathon road trip for work, a two hour meeting with a customer in Gilbert AZ (Phoenix suburb). Not a fan of flying and wanted to get away, so I hopped in the truck and hit the road!
What's your favorite road trip you've taken? Longest? Most relaxing? Memorable? Just curious
Day 1 - Saturday
Wisconsin to Amarillo Texas - 17 hours
Oklahoma had so many interesting landmarks

Setting sun burning my eyes for an hour or so in Texas:

But when the sun finally set, just beautiful:

Day 2 - Sunday
Amarillo Texas to Phoenix Arizona - 11 hours
New Mexico starting to change from boring to beautiful:

First time in Arizona / New Mexico, tried to capture some nice pics that will never do justice...

Left home at 43 degrees, arrive to 94 degrees (F)

Day 3 - Monday
Phoenix AZ to Albuquerque New Mexico - about 7 hours
Dodging deer in Wisconsin had me prepared ?

And Mr. Ferguson kept me awake:

Finally came over the mountains into Albuquerque, nap time:

Day 4 - Tuesday
Albuquerque New Mexico to St Louis Missouri - 15 hours
Cant remember which state, either eastern New Mexico or Western Texas:
Leaning tower of the south

Another good laugh for a bit

That's it for the pictures. But after sleeping for 2 hours at a rest area outside of St. Louis, hit the road day 5 for the final 6 hours from St. Louis to home.
Made it safe and sound, 3,500 miles (5600 KM) in 56 hours over 5 days. Not bad!
Now I plot and plan for the next grand adventure. Maybe add some more time in to stop and enjoy the roses next time.
