Day 3 - 6/26/2004 - Saturday

• We briefly toured Dallas. Saw the Peace Park, some other impressive buildings, and of course the infamous Book Depository. Here's a picture of said building:
  
• We dodged into a suburb to see a large group of equestrian statues.
  
• We visited the famous Fort Worth Stockyards, where many a cow had its fate decided.
  
• It began to rain, horribly. For miles and miles.
• When the rain cleared it was amazing seeing how many oil derricks littered the scenery. They were a pretty sight when paired with the blooming wild sunflowers. Unfortunately none of my pictures of those came out, but instead here is a picture of windmills on a mesa:
  
• We saw some prairie dogs.
  
• Arrive New Mexico (2407 Miles)
• Now in Mountain Daylight Time Zone.
• Drove through some oil boom towns that had seen better days.
• Arrived in Carlsbad during an impressive lightning show.
• Crossed the Pecos River.
• Stayed in Carlsbad, New Mexico (2496 Miles)
