After waking at 3am thirsty i was unable to go back to sleep so I loaded up. It had rained during the night. Within 5 min there was constant lightning to the north and south of me. " cannon to the left of them volleyed and thundered". So I thought i would luck out, no lightning in front of me. Then a large strike down the road in front of me and the waterfall started. But I was out of it in about 30 min. The whole time The Charge of the Light Brigade was going thru my mind.
To be in the flat lands in the dark of night with constant lightning is very impressive.
I stopped for breakfast in Amarillo, Tx (after 280 miles) at the home of the 72oz steak feed. You have 60 min to eat the whole thing to get it free. I meet Larry, a harley rider from Huston there and we shared a table.
After that i went on to Albuquerque, NM and stopped. Got a nice room and went to Panda Express for dinner. 581 miles today. And as I finish the thunder is rolling.
