FROM LUBBOCK TO AMARILLO

Saturday, May 14 – The group of men that run the Elks campground – The Traveling Elks – had a fish fry this evening.....everything was free! They had fried catfish, fries, fried jalapenos, gumbo, and dessert. You provided your own beverages. They had a drawing for a quilt, and a silent auction and raised $600. The food was delicious.

We talked to all types of people and met a couple from California and another couple from Connecticut. We spent the evening talking about our travels. The event was really well attended (free food) and everyone seemed to have a great time.

Sunday, May 15 – We headed to Amarillo this morning (there's a tune in there.....”Amarillo by Morning.....”). Boy is it flat up here.

We had a little delay when our air bags wouldn't air up......hmmmmm. Not really sure what the problem was but after messing around, we were able to get aired up. We went for a test run down the road a couple miles before hooking up the car. All seemed okay so we hit the road.

We arrived in Amarillo, TX,  two and a half hours later with no problems. We're staying at the Oasis RV Campground, which was recommended by a friend back in Livingston.The Oasis RV Park is very nice.

Our site, #26, is very big. We have a concrete site and paved roads.

Because we are only a couple of miles from Cadillac Ranch, the RV Park thought it would be a great selling point to bury an RV. If you click here, you can watch how they did it.
