It's cloudy today. This should be a good day for travelling.
The route from Santa Rosa passed Tucumcari and ended in Amarillo. The trip was uneventful except for wind and trucks. We had a stiff cross wind most of the way and this section of I-40 has very heavy semi-truck traffic. The combination made for a lot of trailer sway. We made it in time to shop at Lowe's for fuses and a hand crank extension for the hitch. The replacement fuse fixed the hitch problem. We now have a working hitch lift!
The Amarillo Ranch RV Resort is located just off I-40. It's very nice and well run. Some of the sites are a bit strange because the place used to be a mobile home park. There was no problem getting a site without a reservation.
It seemed very important to get a steak dinner while in Texas. So, we went to the nearby Big Texan Steak Ranch. This is one of the biggies. You can get a free 72oz steak dinner ... if you can eat it all in an hour. Otherwise, they charge $1 per ounce. They will even pick you up in a limo if you need a ride. So much for the "ifs". We had 6 oz steaks (note: no dessert) and were quite full.
Sorry - we have no pictures for today.
