We made it to Amarillo, TX. It wasn't easy. We had to face a snowstorm, a dust storm and high winds for the last three hours of our trip. The winds were so high that we had to slow down to 45 mph because the awnings on our slides were trying to come out. They were banging and made Dad nervous. We pulled over a few times to make sure they were okay. It was fine once we had buildings to shield us from the winds, but that was only for the last five miles of our trip. It took us twelve hours to get here. We missed Survivor which is our favorite show. Mama said we may be able to watch it online.
We understand that not everyone was able to see the YouTube video that we had on our site yesterday. It was George Strait singing "Amarillo By Morning".
Here are some photos from our trip.

| Elk...we didn't see any. |

| New Mexico was a little boring at times. |

| New Mexico seems to have a lot of trees, but no grass. |

| Bye, New Mexico! |

Dad surprised us with a cool campground here in Amarillo. We have our own private dog run! It has a picnic table for the folks. There is a bigger "public" dog run that we checked out this morning. Scout and I did some running. Scout loves to run.
We took a quick walk around the campground this morning because I
insisted. I love the dog run, but I need to patrol my surroundings.
The campground is a little cluttered with lawn equipment and stuff, but the
owners must love dogs to put in the private dog runs. There are seven
of them. We have the biggest one.
We would love it here if the wind died down. It is extremely windy here. The winds are gusting to 50 mph and when they are not doing that, they are constantly blowing. It is very noisy inside our home. It is cold. The high will be about 40, but with the high winds, it feels very cold. Tomorrow is supposed to be better and we have an outing planned with the folks that should be fun. Hint: I get to do some graffiti.

The folks are going to tour the RV museum that is here today and then they are going to eat at a steak place that is said to be a big tourist trap. They like doing the silly tourist things

Scout and Joey, thanks for telling us about the wild winds, and the private dog runs!
ReplyDeleteI bet the park owner heard you were coming and hurriedly built them to accommodate your royal highnesses.
That is awesome that you get a little yard all to yourselves! Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteYea, I love that they have a dog run just for you guys!!! Have a blast there!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it safe and sound. Oh my oh my your own dog run!! Well that is a very cool RV park indeed.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I'm glad you made it! I wish you'd gotten to stay there a while with the cool dog run! Here's hoping the weather is better soon!

I cannot believe the weather everywhere! I'm not complaining. In Georgia, it should be in the 80's by now and we are still in the 60's... I'm hoping that means that summer will only be in the 80's. :-)
