Texas Is Big

Texas is big. Really big. It took us about five hours to get out of Texas today, despite taking the short cut north through Wichita Falls. We spent 14 hours on the road today, traveling 808 miles according to Mapquest.

Tomorrow's trip to Danville, Indiana to visit [livejournal.com profile] bedlamhouse and [livejournal.com profile] ladyat should be much easier.

ROTFLMAO

From where I live now, it only takes me two to 2.5 hours to get out of Arkansas in any direction, but you begin to see why MaryKay and I used to think nothing of driving 15 to 18 hours to get to ConFusion back when Marty Burke was singing at Sweeney's.

Trivia point: There is more of Interstate 10 in Texas than there is from either ElPaso to the Pacific Ocean or Beaumont to the Atlantic Ocean. I forget by how much, but I DID add it up once upon a time.
