It was a much shorter run down to Fort Worth today. The first few roads we went down were note worthy in that the shoulder grass strips were full of freshly dug holes but no sign of the critters responsible.
Oil and gas is clearly a huge industry in Ok with lots of installations both large and small. We saw very long trains pulling only oil tankers. Some of wind farms go further than we could see.
As we went south the land looked a lot dryer. We crossed into Texas and stopped at the welcome centre to get some info for when we leave Fort Worth.
We needed fuel, a sign offering it for under $2/ gal was a very welcome sight :-) we filled up from close to empty for $40, that's equal to low 50 c/ lt!
We hit the highway, not something we do often but we had told Marc we'd be at his place mid afternoon. The traffic sucked, lots of road works happening slowed us down heaps.
We got of the highway briefly to grab a very quick lunch at a Maccas; the first I've ever seen that is attached to a liquor store! You could walk from one to the other without going outside via an opening between the stores, pretty sure that wouldn't happen anywhere but Texas lol
We got to Marc's around four and got the tour, his tank is very nice.
He made us some dinner and we chatted for hours, watched a couple of comedies on tv and left him at about 8 to head to our hotel.
