November 26, 2012

Bill said we left Lamar at 6:30. You couldn't prove it by me.  I slept through the rest of Colorado, the Panhandle of Oklahoma, and into Texas.  Bill said he did our state line routine on both occasions. But once again, you couldn't prove it by me!

At some place along the way, we changed time zones. The good thing about that is lunchtime coming earlier.

In Amarillo, we stopped for fuel, for the motorhome and for us. When all three tummies were happy, we got back out on the road.

Between Amarillo and Childress we passed acres and acres of cotton.  Some fields had been “picked,” and some hadn’t.  A different method is used nowadays for the way cotton is “baled.”  Interesting the things that change.!

We parked for the night at the Walmart in Childress.  There was still some daylight when we got parked, but it had been a long day, especially for Bill, so we decided to skip the geocaching and get some extra rest.

Before we left Loveland yesterday, Meredith gave us “care

packages” from Thanksgiving leftovers.  We have enjoyed having dinner ready when we park for the night.  Thanks!

Early this morning, Bill saw a herd of buffalo.  When we went through the small town of Stratford, a sign announced that it was the pheasant capitol of Texas.  I looked and looked, but didn't see a one!  Darn!

Today’s travel totals:  Miles traveled, 333--critter sightings, a herd  of buffalo.
