"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

A good effort by all at Noble to get the race in. The track worked well, french fries were great, and we got to see our friends from div. 4 and 5. The track had a Big four wheel drive tractor for the planned escape from the red mud. Mother Nature was the only stick in the mud!

OK needed the rain so every thing worked out. Most of the crops look to be a total loss from no rain.

Well we drove another 300 miles after we left Noble to just west of Amarillo, TX. We had planned on staying at "The Big Texas Restaurant" where they have a 72 oz. steak for free (if you can eat it in an hour). But when we got there their truck parking was full. We almost had to be towed out whenever we got in a hole and had to engage both axles to get out. So then we decided to stay at a Walmart and put the address in the GPS. Then we decided we were not going in to a very good neighborhood, so turned around at a convenience store. So we finally went on down the road a piece and stayed in a truck parking area and slept quite soundly. We slept in a little this morning while we waited for the fog to clear and are back on the road. Oh, when we were driving in the dark last night we kept seeing these red blinking lights. We found out this morning that it was a wind farm!

Well more later.
