Rainstorms and a day trip to Amarillo

It was cloudy and foggy this am, quite dark until after 7am. Thunderstorms were threatening again, so we decided it would be a good day to tour Amarillo.

First we drove on west of Amarillo on I40, to the Cadillac Ranch, where 10 fancy-painted old Cadillac cars are buried in a field visible from I40.

Then back in to town we drove part of the old route 66. Pouring rain and hail. The gals visited a quilt shop. The guys got soaked coming back from a visit to a custom motorcycle shop.

There were a number of stylized quarterhorse statues around town

When we got back to the cg, Gord & Curt were able to have a hike in the hills above the cg. Then we got together for our last margaritas of the trip. C&J are leaving tomorrow, heading to the Airstream factory in Ohio for some trailer work and a tour. We’re booked for another night here. 18C at 8:30 pm.
