Yep, that’s Amarillo! Happy to be in Texas even for a night and even in the Panhandle. It’s closer to Sante Fe and AZ and California of course. And they don’t worry too much about COVID here either! But I am getting ahead of myself.
We had another sunny drive today after exciting lightening last night. Saw a lot of fields and cows and closed up storefronts. And always churches. Played some fun country music after the soundtrack to Oklahoma (2019 version) got on someone’s nerves. All My Exes Live in Texas and Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys were a good replacement. (Hee hee)
We had a terrific time in Palo Duro Canyon Park en route to our stopover in Amarillo. Texas cannot use the word little or smaller so it is described as the second largest canyon in the country. It was an easy stop for lunch and some hiking. The weather was so pleasant, we were loving the outdoor time. Then to Amarillo to lay our heads down and get out early to Sante Fe.
Very nice! We are sadly back in Chicago and missing that southwest vibe (at least parts of it). Enjoy the next leg!
Can’t wait to see your gang at Your lake house!
