AMARILLO may seem cut off from the rest of Texas, up in the northern Panhandle, but it stands on one of the great American cross-country routes I-40, once the legendary Route 66 roughly 300 miles east of Albuquerque and 250 miles west of Oklahoma City. The name comes from the Spanish for "yellow," the color of the soil characteristic in these parts.
Yeah...I knew that...(yeah right!)
