One of many buildings there trashed. The coast there is a site to see just foundations not a standing buildin worth rebuilding very sad. Took lots of pics of this but we have seen the news.

After a day of rest in miss. we decided to make it too dallas,tx about a 11 hour drive. We made it to mesquite,tx about 30 miles from dallas and called it a night. All I wanted to do was get a tall can of bud and go in the spa. Well mesquite is a dry town no liquor and the spa closed at 10 pm it was an indoor one got there at 10:30. Needless to say i will never be back to this god forsaken place. No pics of this shithole.

Next morning we shoot for flagstaff,az. But did a stop off in amarillo,tx to experince the Big Texan. A steak joint with a 72 oz steak deal. You eat it in an hour its free. The challange cost 75 bucks if I thought I would have a chance in the world I would of but I can barely finish a 1/2 pound burger from carls jr.

Home sweet home. My daily driver. 91 crx sohc vtec/zdyne tuned jeff frank's old one classic piece of import history.

Overall pretty good trip. i suck at write ups and has Im writing this forgot alot but its the jist of it. For me who really only been on the west coast it was nice to see other area's and so forth. Would I do it again? In an rv yes in a crx w/ blown struts no. Will I ever live anywhere but california I doubt it and this trip just made it more clear. Thats all
