Hobbs Trip - Day 1

Going to see my uncles in New Mexico! Left Marion around 1300. Took I-20 towards Dallas - in Dubberly, LA, at 1700. Crossed border into Texas at 1745 and hit a huge thunderstorm - almost had to pull over... Listened to the radio for most of the day - some good NFL shows. Making good time in the Probe GT - until I got pulled over near Mesquite. There was NO traffic and I was barely speeding (OK, 65 mph), but he gave me a ticket. Back on the road - made it to Weatherford at 2130. Found a room for $20 at a truck stop - kind of like a trailer. TV until around midnight.
