MITM Day1 Dallas to Amarillo

August 7, 2007 on 11:00 pm | In MINIS in the Mountain, Recent Posts |

MITM (Minis In The Mountain) doesn’t officially start till Thursday 9th but figured I would head out a couple of days early and take in the sights.   Yesterday GP got some new soles for her shoes and she could not wait to hit the road today.   It took all the control I could muster to keep her speeds below the soaring triple digit temperature.  

 GP stopped to take a look at this red boot, I couldn’t wait to get the heck out of there before the owner of these big boots came back and wanted to use GP as a matchbox car.  Then GP decided to do some herding.

The drive out of texas took a similar route as the one from MTTS.  I could not pass a picture with the Texas flag and yes I know I should have been more careful with the high brush as risk of fire on the exhaust but I was more worried about what ever the hell was crawling around my feet.  You’ve never seen a white man jump and run so fast! 

I spotted one MINI, this brand spanking new MCS driven by this girl and her mom.  And when we finally got to Amarillo Blue Bear and Nigel wandered off and headed for a horsey ride.  Not sure what time they came back to the room.

  1. EXCELLENT!
    A day-by-day trip for us to enjoy :)

    What new tires did you get, George?

    Will you visit anywhere at Sandia? I guess if I wait for the next installment, I’ll know ;)

  2. I am a day behind with the posts b/c I forgot my SD reader, found one yesterday when I reached civilization.

    Since the rears still have 70%+ I replaced the fronts with the same dunlops.

    No Sandia, too far west for this trip. I thought about though ;)
