End of Day 3
Another 23 hour day -- which was a pity as they arrived in Armarillo about 4:30 and the QuarterHorse Museum closes at 5. So instead of spending a couple of hours visiting they pushed on to Weatherford, OK and made it a 475 mile day.
Does this mean that Helena and Wendy got only two hours sleep in two days? I would suggest getting out of Alb... and sleeping in the pan handle for a day or so......JUST TO GIVE THE CAR A REST!

It's not that they were traveling 23 hours, the day was only 23 hours long. When you cross a time zone going east you lose an hour.
There are very few absolute truths. That a day is 24 hours long is only true if you are not moving. Traveling east you are racing into the sun and lose time from each day. Traveling west you are chasing the sun and can, as when I drove from Texas to L.A., have a 26 hour day.
