9/25/07 Palm Trees, Windmills and Farm Animals

Beautiful day today! We headed towards Lubbock, Texas. It was an easy drive today as we went less than 200 miles today. We called ahead to Mesa Verde RV Park in Wolfforth just 8 miles south of Lubbock to see if they had room for us. They did.

On the way we passed this little business that had a display outside. Made of what looked like metal were palm trees and farm animals.


They also sold windmills in all sizes. Small, medium and large.

We also passed another almost dry river bed. You can still see tiny little pools of water.

We made a pit stop at a little gas station/store and outside was this cactus. Our first cactus! The cactus has already bloomed, darnit, and whats left are the red "tuna", yep, tuna, just like the fish. The fella who was getting gas told me that the tuna are used for making jelly. Tuna jelly,,,,I don't think so!

So we made our way to the campground where we going to be staying for the next few days. We need to rest, to relax, to do laundry, to food shop, to get an oil change to WALK rather than ride.

After a quick spaghetti dinner we settled in for the night. We got out the tour books, maps and set up our computers to start planning our tour of New Mexico.
