Pecos, TX

We made it to the Arlington Elks in time for Chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken night.  Good parking spot and electrical hook up, 5 bucks!  We were so rung out from the road and the night before that we crashed right after dinner.  Got an early start in the morning and drove about 450 miles today.  We stopped at an ugly BBQ shack in Merkel where I had the best brisket I ever tasted (smoky and fell off your fork tender!!)  Made it as far as Pecos, restocked supplies at Wal-mart and are spending the night at a Flying J truck stop.  We’ll see how close to Tucson we can get tomorrow.

Gas prices have been pretty steady since we left.  2.96 to 3.34.
