"Amarillo by morning...

up from San Antone"
was the song we used to sing while trying to stay awake when we drove up to Colorado.

That was back in the days of 55 and 60 mph speed limits.

But now that we can drive at 75 for most of the trip (and 80 in IH10), its more like…..

"Trinidad by morning….."

Yes, thinking of a combination of the mesas of the SW

and clear Rocky Mountain snows

in the early morning gives you a boost to keep on driving 


and make those 765 miles as the sun comes up.
