Amarillo to Clarksville, AR

Sorry for the confusion...yesterday's post was titled "Gallup to Albuquerque"  when we actually ended the day in Amarillo.  The Albuquerque to Amarillo portion was via truck...so that's why I screwed up the post title. 

Today was all truck, all interstate and all I-40.  We left by 8:00AM and sailed on past our hotel in Clarksville, AR to have dinner in a very popular catfish joint in Russellville, AR called Brown's Catfish. 

It was killer and being an all you can eat kind of place, I am now suffering.  The catfish, et al was great.  But the killer item for me was the cinnamon rolls.  Huge, warm, soft, sweet and covered with all-you-want frosting.  OMG...the best I've ever had.

We heard from Jim Dennis today and he's well on his way.  Loyal readers will recall that Jim is motorcycling from home in north GA to meet us in Clarksville, AR. 

Jim stopped for the night in Olive Branch, MS and he should arrive tomorrow, so we wish Jim safe travels and look forward to riding with him on Monday.  KC reminds me that Jim pulled a 400 mile day...he's the MAN.

The highlight today was a gas stop in Shamrock, TX that put us on Old Route 66 and in front of a restored Conoco gas station/diner originally built in 1936 and restored in the 90's with state and federal grants to the tune of $1.7M. 

It was featured in the movie "Cars" and is like stepping into a time machine.  KC was in heaven.
