So far, no major cat fiascos. Just put a blanket over their cages and they sleep the whole way.

We have moved 6 cats 2 dogs and 3 horses across the country 3 times now. Only one time did I have a cat shit in his carrier, Now he rides in a Varie kennel in the horse trailer

We've got 1,300 miles to go, so 2 days if we're up for the long drives. 3 days if we don't wanna push it.

Day 4 & 5

DAY 4: Saturday, 12/18/10
Starting Location: Memphis, TN
Starting Mileage: 171,313
Average MPG: 24.7 - was hoping to improve from yesterday, but no such luck
Final Destination: Austin, TX
Total Miles driven: 667

Stops: Sun Studios, Memphis, and kinda Graceland

Gas Stops: 1. mile 1222. 2. 1508. (not a full fillup) 3. 1663

Woke up in Memphis and couldn't leave without visting Sun Studios. If we had more time, we would have also seen Stax. Tried to go to Graceland, but at that point didn't want to keep paying for tourist attractions. (Even had to pay to drive by it.) So we drove to the front of Graceland and turned around. Not a very interesting driving day. We wanted to take Hwy 61 down from Memphis to Mississipi. AKA the Blues Highway, the Crossroads, where Robert Johnson allegedly sold his sould to the devil to become the greatest guitarist ever. Nevertheless, we are afterall, on a moving road trip and not a leisure road trip so we decided to skip it, because it would add 4 hours to a drive that was already 10 hours. Added some oil. That's a bout it.


DAY 5: Sunday, 12/19/10
Day Off from Driving. Spent the day in Austin. I have a cousin who recently moved here so we stayed with him and he showed us around town today. There is a very good chance we will come back to Austin instead of settling in LA. It is an amazing city, with great weather, great food, and a solid music industry.
Tomorrow I will wake up early and take the car to Terry Sayther for a mid trip checkup, then book it to San Diego.


Some pics of Day 4&5:

Salt Lick, Driftwood TX, just outside of Austin. Holy crap, never will I ever have better barbecue:



Spent the day in Austin, and all I cared about was this Judge:
