We made it to Amarillo, TX tonight. We arrived at about 3:30 even though we had a very strong head wind for the last 50 miles. The wind apparently is 50 mph and 40 degrees. It was very hard to hold onto your clothes and walk at the same time. After we got set up we were putting things together and we found our coffee maker would not work. We were both looking for a nice warm cup of tea or coffee. Walt called the company and they suggested we take it back to Kohls. Well, we were lucky because the Kohl's store was only 4 miles away. We are located on Route 40 just west of Amarillo so they have a nice strip mall very close to us. We are even closer to the buried Caddilacs in the field. You can see them on the internet also.
After we got back to the RV it was time for supper and a early night to turn in. We were both tired.
Oh, by the way the drive today was first through some rugid waste land (or that is how it looked to us). Then as we passed through Sweetwater we saw some more wind farms. After we left Lubbock we started to see flat prairie with a lot of cotton fields and we even saw some farmers working ground. As we approched Amarillo hit the head wind and saw tumbleweed blow across the highway in front of us. We even saw a very large tumbleweed which we missed by only a few inches. Walt was sure we would hit it.
We are at the Oasis RV Resort. It is very nice and is out in the open. There are not trees within site and everything is light brown. It still is a nice place to be. We do hope the weather gets warmer.
Now it is time to call it a night.
