Driving across the country last year was a real adventure for the Tracey family. It was six days in the car, listening to Harry Potter novels on CD, and watching the country sail by outside the car windows. For Jim and me, this was our second time doing this drive, and we had a lot of memories from the first time, back in 1995. One of the things we remembered the most was how flat and dull our two days in Texas were. (No offense to anyone who lives there, but I'm sure you know what I mean.) In fact, in the video we shot of that first trip, we titled that part "Suck Footage." We were happy (?) to find in 2009 that Texas hadn't changed much, and the flat parts were still incredibly flat, with nothing to be seen from one horizon to the other. It wasn't the most exciting part of the trip visually, but our gas mileage was GREAT!
