Tuesday August 2, 1988 We motor through Oklahoma on I40 and stay overnight in a motel in Amarillo Texas after driving for 725 miles and 10½ hrs. Amarillo is in that part of Texas called the pan handle. Wednesday 3 August, 1988 We keep on driving and finally stop for a break at Gallup NM: 7 hours and 425 miles away from Amarillo. We have driven 1150 miles and 17 hours drive time almost non stop from Graceland. Why the rush? The Eathers have to catch a plane at LAX soon and we promised Val we would take her to Las Vegas as her special treat.
