Chicago to Austin-Phase 2
The Mustang has now purred its way over 2,500 miles and across eleven states in thirteen days. Tomorrow morning we commence the final week-long leg of the road trip that takes us to our final destination Los Angeles via Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Monument Valley and Lake Powell.
The iPod continues to be the number one invention (along with sat-nav and truckers honking their horns upon request) to relieve the boredom on the road and this weeks Top Ten road trip classics are as follows:
1. Just Looking-Stereophonics
2. Another Brick in the Wall-Pink Floyd
3. Insomnia-Faithless
4. A Boy Named Sue-Johnny Cash
5. Walk on the Wild Side-Lou Reed
6. Can’t You See-The Marshall Tucker Band
7. Hit Em Up-Tupac Shakur
8. Profit in Peace-Ocean Colour Scene
9. He Got Game-Public Enemy
10. Champagne Supernova-Oasis
