Day 15. Moriarty NM to Tucumcari NM.
Today i drove 143 miles. Stepping it up to get home!
Thunder, lightning, dime size hail.
Yet the dauntless i-Miev is unfazed.
The open road continues to call.

A significant day's record for this trip! Trip data spreadsheet updated.

Did you get from Moriarty to the RV park in Santa Rosa on a single charge, especially in such weather? That looks like a 79+ mile leg with nothing in the middle. After a feat like that, the 59 miles to Tucumcari must've been no sweat!

Nope. Weather, hail and headwinds made me stop at the Bowlin Flying C Ranch for a topup charge.
Then to Santa Rosa.

Day 16....Tucumcari NM to Amarillo TX
With 2 side trips.
I drove 131 total miles today.
Tomorrow i leave the Route 66 to travel Northeast for a more direct trip home.

Day 17 was a bit weird. Left route 66 early, made it through Panhandle and Pampa TX. Only to discover that the subsequent charging opportunity no longer exists. Fortunately i hadnt taken the sharp turn north yet. So here i am back on the route in Alanreed Texas.
The route doesnt want to let me leave just yet. I drove 110 miles. Only 67 were "forward progress" though.
Onward! Will probably take the direct turn out of Tulsa instead.
Oh darn!

Day 18.
Alanreed TX to Clinton OK.
Today I drove 126 miles.

At least the weather looks good for you! Still waiting for you to break the 200-mile day barrier (which is actually more difficult to do when one is on the road in unfamiliar territory than when on one's home turf).

Trip data spreadsheet updated. I update this spreadsheet every day even though I may not post that I've done it, but also noticed a quirk with Google's spreadsheet that if I don't hit tab or return the data entry does not persist.

Day 19: Clinton, Ok to Chandler OK.
With serious GPS anomalies in OKC, and getting hopelessly lost for 2 hours at OKC, i drove 186 miles total.
