After traveling about 50 miles, the bus passed through Logan shortly before crossing the state line into northern Texas, thus crossing the time zone boundry at midnight Mountain Time, 1:00 am Central Time. Elias Ferret had already been fast asleep for nearly an hour as he slept like a cub to the white noise of the twin diesel motors while riding along at 60 mph in the night down Highway 54. Since leaving Logan, New Mexico, Highway 54 runs completly straight with no curves for nearly 200 miles between Logan and the Kansas state line...Thus, to the otter driving the bus, the more than three hours of driving at 60 mph along that stretch of Highway 54 always did feel like it runs seemingly forever, especially on his night runs going northeast...The only slowdowns were 45 and 50 mph speed zones in the few very small towns they passed through. |
