Day 17 Home to Texas!

"Rocky Mountain High....Colorado" John Denver
and we did see the Rockies as we zipped from Rawlins, Wy, through Colorado, New Mexico, and Finally landed in Dalhart, TX! We left camp at 6:30 this morning and were set up here in Texas at 6:30 pm...ok, I'll admit it, we added on an hour for time zone change! But that is still a lot of driving in one day. Tomorrow will probably be even longer as our sites are set for home!
One humorous thing in Denver. We came to an exit that said Santa Fe and Alameda! We thought for a second that we were back in Corpus! (2 streets in Corpus near my 50+ year childhood home)
Took a picture of the Denver Bronco stadium, but not sure how good it is as Phil did not stop! We had rain on us all the way from Colorado Springs until after Raton, New Mexico. But not bad.
Guess that is all the news from the McCamper tonight. Sorry it is boring now, doing nothing but driving, driving, driving. Phil listened to an Audio book about the building of the train that connected the Florida Keys, and I finished my book about Henry the VIII and took a good nap! So, goodnight from the McCamper, where the women are cooking Nachos, the men are watching TV, and the children are doing something I'm sure!

  1. D & P,
    Phillip told me last weekend that yall were out discovering the "Great West". It sounds like you've had a wonderful time. I would love to see all the pics you've taken on this journey. We've had lots of rain and hope for more today. Be careful on your last leg back to Hockley. Stop by when you get to the ranch.
    Love,
    Miss Maude
