Amarillo Texas

It was to much a drive from Datil N.M to the storage place in Anadarko Oklahoma ,having the time we divided the stretch every 300 Miles , our fist stop was in Vaughn N.M ,a small deserted village with few motels and C.G , we were quite surprised that the full price for one night was $40 , we payed only $20 for one night with 50% discount being Passport America members, no bathrooms but with full hook ups and Wifi.

We did not disconnect the truck and on the next morning chose to stop at Amarillo TX for 2 nights.

Years ago we hiked in the Palo Duro Canyon S.P https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/palo-duro-canyon and therefore looked to visit other attractions .

In the next morning we drove to the Historic 66 Hwy in down town Amarillo to watch the Annual Motorcycle Rally .

After celebrating Xmass in September with some bikers from Florida we headed to see a field of Cadillac's buried in the ground.... it was colorful and made me think -what came into the head of the guy that actually took a number of Cadillacs ,dug holes in the ground and buried them one next to the other...but it was very unusual and I like unusual..

By now we became hungry and what is a better place to go than the Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brewery...it is a huge establishment ,motel,restaurant,playground where they offer 72 once steak for FREE is one person can eat it in an hour... I did not go for it just did not want to get used to eat like that....

We watched a guy try to eat the steak but he couldn't do it. We also went out to the cadillacs. Fin post brings back memories.

I stopped at the Big Texan Steak Ranch just to see the 72oz steak, a guy did it while I we there there. I had a smaller steak (MUCH smaller) and it was good. I'll stop in again the next time I go that way.
