After our fun little cave exploration, we set the GPS for New Orleans, Louisiana. We, of course, set that thing for the 'fastest route' possible so it led our crappy little AA battery-operated car onto an off-roading adventure!

All I can say is that we were going 1 mph for about 15 miles! It took us over an hour just to get through this 'highway' and onto the Texan state highway. It was so frustrating because we kept thinking our tires were going to flatten and/or we'd be stranded there in the middle of literally, NOWHERE. Not to mention, we didn't even get any cell reception. My arms were sore as I navigated our 'no power-steering' wheel to avoid the many, many potholes and uneven pavement. Jen, on the other hand, was sound asleep.

Driving through the Texas panhandle was not fun. There were way too many troopers milling about. Luckily, we didn't get pulled over (they must not have thought two Asian girls could wreak too much havoc) and their highways were pretty well-lit. We pulled over at a gas station somewhere in Abilene to get a few hours of sleep.
