We made a gas stop in Wichita Fall, Texas. We normally try to use Chevron as our primary fuel source but sometimes you’re not able to find one. I can’t even remember the last time I had seen gas prices below $2 bucks per gallon. It’s almost as if this area stayed in a stand still with the latest technology and events.
After stopping at Barstow, California and wolfing down a set of Burger King whoppers and fries we headed back down the road. We popped the top off and decided we give it a try since the iPhone weather app I was using indicated clear skies in the direction we were heading. We figured if it started to rain we would have enough time to pull over and use the rag top.
I think the toughest part of driving to New Orleans is the trek through Texas. It seems like Texas is endless and the landscape is all the same. After riding Highway 287 for a while me and the wifey swapped drivers. I saw this beat up motel (if you could call it that) a rocks throw from where we parked.
I’ve driven and ridden across a lot of highways in my life and this is one you don’t want to have car troubles in the middle of the night. I’m just saying…
Wifey rightfully pulled off into a rest stop located in Cuervo, New Mexico. The temperatures were around 19-21F degrees. That’s below freezing temperatures and the original plan was to sleep and rest there for awhile.
We stopped for gas at Albuquerque, NM. This was one of the coldest stops so far. The ride on I-40 late night was freezing cold, I mean literally below 32F. We experienced areas on I-40 where the temperature dipped down to 19F degrees. That’s freaking cold weather especially from a couple of California natives.
We found out later that the prices of gas gets cheaper as the distance between the oil refineries deceases.
Made a pitstop in the town Gallup, New Mexico. Check out the price for regular gas.
Top down on the Beemer and wifey is knocked out Zzzzzzing..
Off we go..
The mission here is to transport 125 freshly made lumpia’s across multiple states, through various environmental temperatures in a short period of time. Wifey devised a sophisticated climate control transport system.
Even though it may look like a flexible plastic Oakland Raider cold chest filled with blue ice blocks it was more than that, much much more.
For whatever reason I’ve had this fascination with multi prop drones. I’ve been watching the industry grow for quite some time and always thought it would have been fun to mess with. I picked up the DJI-Phantom II model and will probably be hacking the chit out of it as time goes on.
