Experienced some technical difficulties last night so now have a lot of catching up to do.

Day 6 on the road saw us starting the morning at the Blue Swallow Motel where we met a couple of Aussies from Tassie, one of whom I knew from my high school days - random - travelling the route in the opposite direction. Gave us an excellent tip to go to Russell's Truck Stop where there was a fantastic car museum, the display rotates every 4 months from a collection of 150 cars.

Crossed the border into Texas and visited the Cadillac ranch where we left our mark for prosperity, or at least the 23 seconds before someone sprays over it.

Travelled through the rolling green hills of Texas (quite a few of them as we missed our exit at Amarillo and ended about 40kms north of where we should have been). Paddocks of grass and dotted oil derricks.

Stated the night at a little town called Shamrock.
