Amarillo

We are in Amarillo Texas. We stayed a week at Amarillo Ranch RV park. It is a very nice RV park with a indoor heated pool and hot tub. I have taken advantage of the pool.

We went to the Big Texan and had a nice dinner. We rode in the limo from the RV park.

Charlie had a nice steak and I had BBQ pork ribs. The food was fantastic. It was a lot of fun. They have a 72oz steak and trimmings, if you eat it in a hour you get it free. There is a camera on the person eating and you can watch it on your computer. Well Charlie called his friend John and he turned on his computer so he could see Charlie on stage with a napkin that said hi John.It was a lot of fun. We took some pictures.

 We both sat in a extra big rocking chair and got our picture taken,
you know things are bigger in Texas.

 We took home enough food for a couple meals. Then Charlie went down and got some Rocky Mt Oysters a couple days later.




We went to the Palo Duro Canyon State Park. It is 120 miles long and 800 feet deep and is the second-largest canyon in the United States.

 Palo Duro Canyon State park is more than 30,000 acres One of the nations most magnificent scenic byways. We enjoyed the vistas of color and beauty. The different geologic layers of beautiful colors.

We went to Amarillo Zoo. It was a small zoo.

                               

 It was very clean and well taken care of. We saw some Fantastic animals. One of my favorites was a Serral cat.

 Well I am a cat lover so there were Bobcats, Tigers, Lions, Lioness, Wallaby’s, Black handed spider monkeys and lots more. It was a lot of fun.
We also went to a Cadillac Ranch.

 The worlds only! Ten Cadillac’s buried nose down in a field at the same angle as the Cheops Pyramid.

They are in a farmers field and you can paint them all you want. People were all over the place painting all kinds of things on them.
We will be headed toward Kansas. More to come.

Back on the road

We left Lake Charles March 12^th . We were there for 5 months. We enjoyed our stay. It feels nice to be back on the road I always enjoy all the new places and new things to see.
 

Our first two nights back on the road was out of Jefferson Texas. Corps of Engineers park on Lake O’ The Pines. It was a very pretty campground / lake and we were lucky to get a spot there as spring break had just started . We drove around and went to the dam. There were a number of people fishing and I saw a man with some crappie.





They were quite large and real thick would have liked to catch some of them and eat them. We were leaving the next day so we didn‘t do any fishing.

Lake Texoma

We drove into Oklahoma where we stayed at another Engineer park on Lake Texoma for 6 nights. It was close to Durant Oklahoma. We saw all kinds of horse statues in the town and some were made with scrap medal. 

 One looked like a Ford tailgate. I have been walking the campground to try to get some needed exercise. It is a nice park overlooking the lake.Where there are some pretty sunsets.  


 We stayed a extra day as a storm was coming from the direction we were headed. It had lightning and thunder so loud it scared you out of bed then the endless rain. The host came down to tell us that if a tornado came to come wake him and he would unlock the bathrooms. Why he just didn‘t unlock them for the people I don’t know. Well I am very thankful one didn’t come and the news said we could get some hail the size of golf balls. Glad it went some where else. Reba and I didn’t get much sleep that night. I had my nose to the window and Reba walked the 5^th wheel. The next day I was ready to get on the road but Charlie told me the news said there was more storm to come. I wanted to crawl in a hole. Well he looked it up on the internet it looked like it was gone. So we got on the road, thank goodness!
We then drove to Vernon, Texas where I was a able to do the laundry and get a good night sleep.
Then back on the road. We are in Amarillo Texas for a week now and have some things to see. More to come. Ginny
