Between western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle there were miles and miles of wind generators with their blade slowly turning in the wind. I had heard that they were dangerous to birds. But as I watched them turning I came to the conclusion that it would be a really stupid bird to fly into a blade. The blades turn too slowly. I don't know if that fact changes during extremely high winds but I do know we had a pretty stiff little wind going on at the time...
When we left Oklahoma there was a rain storm coming in. Somewhere between Amarillo and Santa Rosa we were passed by several storm chasers. Guess they chased the storm that dropped the golfball size hail around the Dallas, Tx area...
We saw trains coming and going on the miles and miles of railroad tracks that ran along side the highway. This yellow train caught my eye because of the big American flag that it displayed...
There were miles and miles of views such as this one...
As the sun hung low in the sky we were close to our destination at the Santa Rosa Lake State Park...
We checked into a campsite and discovered that the landing gear wouldn't work so it was a rough night of trying to sleep on a bed that tilted. Had to be careful not to roll over in your sleep or you would roll off the bed onto the floor. We are shortening our stay here so that Phil can get a new landing gear in Phoenix. The draw tight hitch for the boat needs stabalizing as it is starting to bend. Most of the things needed will be found in Phoenix area.
We went out sightseeing today and took some photos of the park which I will post tomorrow. Meanwhile.... remember "Keep On Dancing"...
