Hello Texas

Amarillo, TX
September 25,2013

Joe and I visited Amarillo in April 2012. We had a great time...spent a week here and went to Alibates Flint Quarry, Palo Duro Canyon, and rode the Harley on Route 66.


Well, what a nice surprise to pull in to the Amarillo KOA for a one night stop to find a "Welcome Back!" on the board.



 New this year was the welcome committee...a mariachi band complete with nodding head pup keeping time to the romantic style, soft touch and suave vocals.

This group sure gets around...we heard them last February when we were in Old Town San Diego.

We were thrilled to have the same site, #83. Its an end site with a view of the pasture. A couple of things were missing though...the jack rabbits and a few cottonwood trees...both victims of the drought. 



We had a great time playing ball with Wrecks and Jack and Sally and Dover made friends at Kamp K-9. I love the pet walk here with all the fire hydrants!

When we were walking back to Belle, we did a double take...do you see them?

Thanks for stopping by...until next time,

enjoy the view!

 

Our Last Day in Albuquerque

Albuquerque,NM
September 24,2013

Yesterday was spent refilling the fridge and running errands. Today however was spent having a great time with Dover and Wrecks. 

We enjoyed the Tree Spring Trail so much, we decided to return. 

 Dover was so excited! And I am proud to report that she did much better today staying with us.
 
 
 
 
 

It sure made us happy to see them running and exploring.

 It was a perfect day for a hike.
 

 
 
We did hike a little further...we went all the way to the Crest Trail for one last view. 

A nice spot for water and a snack! 
 

 

 Sunday evening, we had a terrible storm...torrential rains and winds up to 50 miles per hour. This tree wasn't down when we hiked Sunday morning.
 

Joe and I are both sad. This was our last mountain hike for several months. Tomorrow is moving day...Amarillo, TX for one night and then Checotah, OK for one night.
 
Take care...
 

and enjoy the view!
