Day 33: Headed West, Amarillo

It may be that both Kasey and I will enter blogs separately. I want to remember the our adventures and contribute some perspectives and Kasey is posting on Facebook some of our adventures. 

The morning that we were going to leave Oklahoma City, we wanted to get a game of pickleball in but Kasey said that he better let his tendon heal.

After we left Oklahoma City we stayed at a Harvest Host site in Amarillo. Really, it was a boondocker site. A furloughed federal employee from the dept of defense and a chemical engineer. Stephanie was just getting home and said her dog had Cushing's disease and was not doing well. While we were talking a flock of Sandhill Cranes flew over. We also had a visit from a curve billed thrasher. They had to attend to family. We set up, paid for the electricity and took a walk toward town. It was cool and obviously a football game was going on since we could hear the occasional roar of the crowd.

 The high school JV football team was winning. We arrived to see the falcons score the winning touchdown which ended the game at 20 to 14. Before the varsity started, we decided to head back. We could hear the crowd the whole way back as we walked the half mile. Even inside, we heard the crowd when there was apparently some great play. 

The evening was quiet but we knew there was activity in the night as the automatic light was triggered every so often. We played cards and turned in for the night.
