... of the panhandle of Texas. Near the museum is a canyon Palo Duro 2nd largest canyon in the US. Its 178 miles long and not as deep as Grand Canyon. The canyon was discovered by Coronado in 1541 who was looking for gold. We took a jeep tour on a working ranch owned by the Elkins. We took a jeep tour down into the canyon with a cowboy named Odie, He was quite an interesting ...

... it was quit an adventure for a 19 year old lad like myself. Now you are probably wondering why use a bow and arrow. We would tie a string to the arrow and shoot it to the other side of a river, than tie a measuring chain to the string so we could measure width of river. As Paul Harvey would say now you know the rest of the story!!!.
We saw a farm maze along I-40 so Turned around and went back, glad we did as we had so much fun. It a very large maze a farm has ...

... This will be different from the Beaver Ambassador Club (BAC) rallies and the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) rallies we normally attend. The Tucson rally is for anyone who owns a Monaco product - that is anyone who owns a Holiday Rambler, Safari, Monaco or Beaver motorcoach. . Monaco is - or I should say was - the parent company. They filed for bankruptcy earlier this year and were bought out by ...

... the Big Texan, a restaurant from the days of Route 66. They had a lot of memorabilia plus the kicky stuff as well. We all had steak as it is a steak house. Home of the 72 oz and if you can eat the entire meal in less than an hour you get it for free, if not you pay $30. How's that. Well, that in general is the sum and substance of the day. Hope I didn't bore you.

Back in 1974, Stanley Marsh III, a local artist 'planted' 10 Cadillacs nose down in his wheat field. These Cadillacs date from 1949 to 1963, an era Mr Marsh calls the 'golden age of the American Auto'. "Cadillac Ranch" is located right off Interstate 40 and just ...

... book titled ' The Worst Hard Time' written by Timothy Egan. ( Ken is currently half way through ) This book is about the people who survived the Dust Bowl of the 'Dirty 30's'. When I bought the book I had no idea we would be traveling through the heart of the area it is written about. Needless to say we both viewed the area with 'new eyes'.

So, now we ...

... 15 and hooked up the camper and discovered that we have a little damage on our trailer from some object that we ran over.  We won't have to unhook from the truck tonight.  I will warm something up from the freezer.  We have our little freezer full of food and plenty of groceries along.  You would think that there isn't a grocery store between home and Alaska.

We had hoped to make it a bit further - however, the Yukon had a leaky tire that needed to get fixed and cost us about 2 hours dealing with that. It turned out to be a good thing! We missed a severe storm with hail and heavy winds near Tucumcari, NM - which was our original destination for the night!

... Texas at the Big Texan - home of the 72 oz steak. We just opted for hamburgers and one small steak. Then off to Dalhart, just racing the storm to the north. Thunderstorm warnings to the south and north, but we never saw a drop of rain. Overnight at the Holiday Inn Express in Dalhart Texas. Highly recommended. Great indoor pool. Breakfast was great the next morning. Then off to Denver.
