Amarillo Tx Palo Duro Canyon









Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest in the cannon system in the U.S. 120 miles long and 26,275 acers. Unlike the Grand Canyon, you can drive through it to the bottom and look UP.  We stayed in the Canyon until 8:30 for the 2 hr. TEXAS show (musical history of the settling of the panhandle of the state) which is performed in an outside ampitheatre under the stars.  Elevation 3670 feet.

Monday June 13 elevation 7095 feet!!!
We're in Santa Fe, NM.  Interesting drive here in 30 knot winds ( Broadside) with gusts to 44 knots, this is apparently very normal.  We had one gust hit us so hard that we thought we had a blow out!

We passed a huge cattle processing plant with thousands and thousands of cattle waiting to be, you know what.  Lucky us, we just happened to be downwind and even though we had the A.C. on recycle, the smell was so bad that it woke up the dog!
