Tuesday April 27, 2010: Day 4, Albuquerque, New Mexico to Elk City, Oklahoma
Via: I40
Miles: 446
We have gone 1355 miles. We have averaged 55 miles per hour, and 40.1 miles per gallon. We expect those numbers to improve as we keep moving east. We are getting lighter, and we are expecting to drop thousands of feet in elevation on mostly straight roads. Are we going to make it without getting more fuel? It is going to be close…
Fuel added, 2 containers:
Albuquerque, New Mexico (this church was built in 1793):
Tucumcari, New Mexico (for you Dennis):
Amarillo, Texas:
Standifer House Bed & Breakfast Inn (Elk City, Oklahoma):
We are hoping to stay at more B&Bs, they are fun.
This is Part 5 of the Passage Across America series. Read Part 4 here and Part 6 here.
YES! B & Bs are much better than the no-tell motels. How was the one the other night????
Looks like you are having fun so far!!
Hi Guys
Enjoyed your company at the Italian resturant in Brantford during your brief stay in Canada. Hope you made it to Chicago in time. Reading your book, very interesting. We have told numerous people of your trek and the time we spent listening to your tales at the restuarant (my best friend was celebrating his 60th birthday that night). All the best, drive safety and looking forward to finishing reading your book.
Geoff and Chris in Canada

Hi Meaghan,
As you may have noticed, we are really slow about updating our blog. Sooner or later we will write up a super detailed series of blog posts about the trip. We’ll mention the convention and post your picture, for sure. BTW, we really liked Oklahoma City. Nice place. We wish we had more time there.
