4-21 and 4-22 near Amarillo Texas

Leaving Ft. Sill, our route took us through the Witchita Mountains Wildlife Refuge where we saw two bison and were held up while several wild longhorn bulls occupied the road. Gracie didn't notice the buffalos, but she thought the longhorns were exciting. Her wildlife list now includes whitetail deer, alligator, armadillo, Canada Geese, bison and wild longhorn cattle.

The terrain changed continuously as we headed west, including scrubby desert, green pastures, and irrigated wheat fields. We city kids could not understand why land is used for different purposes since it all looks pretty much the same to us.

Our stay for 2 days is a large RV park 10 miles west of Amarillo.

Listened to a Rays game Wed. eve. Lost a good game to KC. We're still over .500.

Wednesday night it went down to 35. 

On Thursday, with the prospect of a cloudy, cold, windy day, we took a day trip to Palo Duro Canyon where we didn't have to go outside unless we chose to. We'd been there before, in midsummer 2019 when it was over 100 degrees. The scenery is beautiful and it makes for a good driving tour. Gracie saw mule deer, two big tom turkeys, and three more longhorns.

The sky cleared in the afternoon, and it warmed up into the 60's. We are snug in our little trailer, but we look forward to the promised warming trend so we can get outside more. i suppose we should have started this trip a couple of weeks later.
