The Palo Duro Canyon is located about 20 minutes south of Amarillo, TX. A lovely and fun place, and well attended this Saturday. The camp grounds were populated with lots of human campers as well as deer and turkeys. The trails were busy with bikers and hikers. Dogs are welcome in the canyon and there were lots of leashed dogs there and Jack was earger to meet each and everyone of them. The park is pretty, pleasant, has picnic tables cleverly situated throughout, and it is colorful. We spent 3 hours there enjoying this cozy canyon, had breakfast at one of those nifty tables.
Then on to Alamogordo, New Mexico, thru flat cattle ranching Texas and then up into the mountains of the Mescalero Apache Reservation. The city of Ruidoso, NM, has a horse racing track, Ruidoso Downs. I wonder if the horses from lower elevations have diminished abilities there due to the evelvation of Ruidoso, just under 7000'. Ruidoso also has Casinos and other tourist attractions. It is a beautiful area, tall pine trees on the steep mountain sides.
Then thru Tularosa, NM, and on to Alamogordo. There are lots of trains chugging East and West in this area, see or hear or both them every couple of hours!
Happy Mother's day, mom.
