Driving Route 66: Texas

No doubt that Texas loves everything big; this was illustrated in what we saw driving Route 66 through the panhandle of Texas. Amarillo was a Feast for the eyes, but also a feast for beef eaters: one restaurant offers a free 72 oz steak if one can eat it in an hour! The MidPoint Cafe is pure Route 66 charm: it's home of the "Ugly Crust Pie", some of the best I've ever had, hospitality plus of the folks, there, and the best Route 66 gift shop on our Trip! It is in Adrian, Texas, near the TX-New Mexico border, but it's name lends itself to the point along Route 66, exactly half way between Chicago and Los Angeles. Shamrock, TX has another Icon: the UDropInn which doubled as a gas Conoco gas station, but now is home for the local Chamber of Commerce!
