Day 80 7/17/2015
Leaving Bernalillo, NM, we passed through Albuquerque, NM and got onto I40 – No more turns until we get home! We need to move on down the road to get there in time for Dick’s memorial.
We enjoyed the changing scenery from New Mexico to the Texas Panhandle and drove through a frightening thunderstorm just East of Amarillo, TX. Windmills were everywhere in the panhandle.
Texas Panhandle |
The landscape in East New Mexico and across much of the Texas Panhandle was much greener than we had expected so I guess some of the really heavy late Spring and early Summer rains in these areas did some good.
Finally we arrived at the Double D Campground in Texola, Oklahoma. The whole town consists of a restaurant (on vacation), a convenience store/gas station, the RV park, a few houses and a really nice little campground.
We setup in a nice shady spot and just relaxed away the stresses of the day.
