Amarillo by Twilight

We left McKinney this morning at 8:30, added a quick stop for fuel and breakfast sandwiches, then made our way to Amarillo. We arrived at 3:40pm, having driven 379 miles. Although the speed limit was 75 mph most of the way we never exceeded 65. Along the way we saw many wind turbine farms. Did you know each of the propellers are 120 feet long and the structures are, on average, 308 feet tall? We didn't. We also saw what looked like fields covered with snow. Nope, it was cotton! Who knew cotton was such a huge crop in North Texas?




As mentioned, we arrived at 3:40 pm, CST. It took an hour to sign in, get to our site, and set up. Nancy took her second shower of the week. It's amazing how much you appreciate having running water, and being able to flush, without fear of filling your holding tanks. In McKinney we only had electricity, no water or sewer hookups. After all, we had been in a parking lot/truck delivery area for a week.

We then rushed out to grab a quick meal, our first real meal of the day, so we could get back in time to conduct our family's monthly Zoom social hour.

We simply love our new window shades. So much nicer and easier to use, than the old ones. An interesting fact: the company we were at manufactures 2500 shades a day, 6 days of the week. They manufacture them not only for RVs, but companies like Chili's, Applebee's, and many others.
