Texas Panhandle






I thought I would share some of the sights along the TX panhandle on I 40. Some say it is a boring trip but I think it is fascinating. Amarillo has the stockyards and the Cadillac Ranch and just outside Amarillo is Palo Duro Canyon. We sometimes stop in this one Rest Stop that has quite an amazing museum that tells the history and geology of the area. This is an area that can be windy and now we see big windmills. The sunsets and sunrises are amazing here. Now when I go through I also think of the song Carol posted recently about clouds. One can see for miles because it is so flat and there are few large trees. I am posting some pictures we took on our August trip through the area.

Fishing Day.....Finally!














































First three pics are the new additions to my old boat. Next pic is looking at my camp/home from the water. Then pics of the river and on an absolutely beautiful day. The first fish pic is a gar, not what I was going for. Getting him off my line was tricky. The last fish is a very nice catfish, wasn't what I was going for either but it will do. It will also be dinner. I only managed to pull in three fish I can eat but they were well worth the trip. It was a little windy and I'm still working on getting coordinated in the boat. I didn't fall in so it the trip was a success,
