January 29, 2011--Trip to Groom, Tx.

Today was a slow day. We had a very long day yesterday, so we had a lighter schedule today. This afternoon we drove east of Amarillo and checked out the tall Cross just west of Groom. It was a beautiful day with sunshine and 70 degrees.

When we got within a few miles we could see the cross from the interstate 40 and 66. The cross is 190 feet tall and 110 inches across. I will show you a few pictures and you can go on their internet site to get the full story of the cross.

We finished our afternoon at the Big Texan Restaurant on the west side of Amarillo. The big gimmick to get people in the door is to offer a 72 ounce steak for free if you can eat it in 1 hour with a side of baked potatoe, buns, salad and 3 shrimp. If you cannot do it you pay them 72 dollars.
Needless to say we did not try the gimmick but 3 men did while we were there. Neither one of them were able to do the job so they charged them $72.
