Wow! What a drive!!

So I got to Oklahoma City last night and was another big city, didn't see much of it as it was dark. However, I did get to see some weird and wonderful bugs and insects. Unfortunately, they were in my hotel room. I had a word with the manager and we came to an agreement that seeing as I was the last one into the room, the bugs should stay and I should leave. So I got a new room. I'm sure the bugs cheered as I left. I didn't do much last night except watch an infomercial on TV about a carpet and floor steam cleaner. Hey that man was good, I had my credit card out and was just reaching for the phone before I realised what I was doing.



This morning I had an earlyish start and had one of my fave breakfasts (Eggs benadict) before hitting the road. I was going to go further west to Alberkirky but couldn't spell it so did a 10 hours drive to Colorado Springs instead which included 2 states (New Mexico and Texas) and another time zone (I can get used to these 25 days!) and it was the best drive I had ever done in my life. I would rather do that again than a 3 hour Leeds to London drive. If Top Gear ever want to go looking for the best roads in the world again then they should do what I did today. The views were breathtaking. I was going up one road and thought I was in the set of 'Smoky and the Bandit 2010', loads of cop cars were hid behind bushes on a certain stretch of road and was getting the speeding cars.

Smokey and the Bandit!

Route 66 was part of the journey again.

I nearly had a fight with a Tornado but it wasn't quite ready yet and I wasn't waiting around for it! I got some pics. You can just make it out on here (pics on other camera hopefully better) and there was plenty of lightning going on within it. The risks 'Storm chasing Mossy' takes for photo's for this blog! Tomorrow I'm going swimming with the Loch Ness monster!



So now I'm in a really nice hotel in Colorado Springs which huge mountains all around and tomorrow having a bit of a break from driving and going to do some sunbathing and sightseeing instead because I like it here. Next stop Utah
