Palo Duro Camp Ground, Canyon, TX

We are crossing the upper portion, or pan handle, of Texas. The plains so far are covered with vegetation, farm fields, grazing cattle, feed lots, dairies, and railroad tracks. We are off the Interstate 40 today and seeing fewer trucks. It has been nice traveling except for the gusty wind.

Should have worn cowboy boots!

Yup, this is the name of a town in Texas. this is a huge grain elevator. There are grain elevators holding feed grain for live stock and grains for human foods every where we go. We did see a flour mill as we left Clovis, NM, this morning.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This is the "Little Grand Canyon of Texas". Here is the visitors' center. The view from the visitors' center is grand. The following photos are of some of the scenery on the road tour of a portion of the canyon.

This is where we stay for the night. You can see the storm clouds. The wind made the trailor bounce around. Hope it calms down during the night so we can get some sleep.

View from the Camp Ground to the east of us. Texas is, of course, cattle country.

It was windy today and a storm blew in. We didn't see much rain, but the sunset was pretty.

In regard to my wondering about the Phillips 66 gas station sign having something to do with Route 66. I got on the web to check it out. the only mention of 66 was the name of a basket ball team the founder of Phillips Petrolium bought. It was interesting reading the history of the company and it's founder.
