We're driving through a town with cell service on our way to the
largest flat topped mountain in the U.S. So here's an update. We set
up camp on Monday morning. OUr sit is about 20 yards from a raging
river, the name of which I won't even attempt to spell. It's great
listening to the water although I'm a little nervous whenever the
girls wander that direction. Evelyn keeps repeating my mantra "The
river is DANGEROUS!" We swam in the lake the first day, which was icy
cold, but fun. We ended the day with burgers on the fire and Evelyn
screaming herself to sleep as apparently she didn't realize we were
going to sleep in the tent we spent so much time setting up.

somewhere in new mexico
The drive from Fort Worth to Amarillo on 287 was gorgeous. We drove
toward a flaming sunset looking at rich green farmland and peach
orchards. We saw lots of thriving small towns with busy grain mills,
long long freight trains, and mom & pop stores. There was a herd of
camels grazing in a pasture like cows in Wichita Falls. Someone will
need to explain that to me. As the last of the sunlight dimmed we
drove through the town of Goodnight. Perfect. Then I brought us
within 20 miles of running out of gas at 11:00 at night in the middle
of nowhere in New Mexico. We're filling up now and Jason says I'm
fired from driving.

We had a yummy picnic dinner at an awesome rest stop in Quanah Texas.
On to Amarillo. Molly's turn to drive. Watch out!
