'19/#8 Fun On The Road

This morning we woke to sunshine and 47 degrees. Cold but no tornadoes. Our next scheduled stop is just outside Amarillo TX. After a thousand miles you would think we would be out of Texas. They say everything is bigger in Texas and I guess that includes travel. As soon as we got here we dropped the trailer and went out to be tourists.

One of those things that are a must see when traveling is Cadillac Ranch. A series of old Caddys buried on end in the ground by a farmer has turned into a historic roadside landmark. Visitors are encouraged to "tag" the cars with their own art work.  This miscreant was spotted at the ranch equipped and ready to do her graffiti.

She must be a Tampa Bay Lightning fan as am I. Hope they can find their way back into the hunt for the Stanley Cup.


On the way back we decided to eat at another landmark. This is the Big Texan Steak Ranch, the home of the 72 ounce steak challenge. Yes, 4 1/2 pounds of steak in one sitting in one hour. Believe it or not there have been at least a dozen successful challenges just since the first of the year. Imagine how many didn't "meat" up (pun intended) to the challenge. As for my traveling companion and graffiti artist her 8 ounce challenge was too much for her. A doggie bag was needed and will be enjoyed at a later time.

We will call it an early night tonight with Albuquerque NM our destination tomorrow. So I am saying goodnight form our home in Amarillo because......

Home is where we park it,
