The Road to XIT (2)
It was 5am...time to get ready for our trip to the panhandle of Texas. To drive from Dallas to Dalhart takes about 8 hours. With 2 small girls it can take an eternity. Fortunately, the girls were both in good spirits for most of the trip.
There are curiosities along the way. For the first time, we took pictures of them. Sadly there are a few "Wonders of Hwy 287" that are no longer there. An old favorite, the Dew Drop Inn, has been gone for several years.
We know we are in the panhandle when we see the following sign.

A 72-oz steak? No way, man. No way. That'd kill a guy.

They display a raw 72oz steak as you walk in.
The thing is so big you can't dream of eating it! Take a paper plate and imagine that it is 3.5-4 inches thick and then add an inch or two to the diameter and you will have a 72oz steak.
I've met a few people that say they have done it and gotten it for free, but I’ll bet 95% try and fail. It's just too damn big!
