Borger, TX slowly disappeared in my rear view mirror as we headed down Rt. 152 toward Fritch, TX. In Fritch we visited the Lake Meredith Aquatic and Wildlife Museum and got the Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument and Lake Meredith National Recreation Area stamps, then headed down Rt. 136 toward Amarillo. The sky continued to get darker and darker the closer we got. We took Rt. 335 around Amarillo and stopped to put on our rain gear. Once we hit I-40 rain would come and go but the the wind was terrible. The trucks along I-40 made it worse.
We stopped at a Dairy Queen in Vega, TX to rest. Vega's population according to the Vega sign is 936 and the Dairy Queen must be the local meeting place. It was a happening place!
We crossed into New Mexico with the wind still doing us battle. We stopped at Tucumcari, NM and called it a day. My arms were toast!
Today was rain, wind, trucks. My ipod is cutting out. Oh heavens, no music!
