Tucumcari, New Mexico to Lake McClellan National Grasslands, Texas
Left New Mexico and headed into Texas. Flat dessert land surrounding us for miles and miles. Drove through Amarillo. Stopped to get free wifi at Starbucks and catch the world up on the past week. Then picked out the only blue water on the map, a lake in the middle of National Grasslands, close to the Oklahoma border. Drove toward a moorage on the horizon as we approach the lake, it turned out to be northern Texas’ biggest dried up puddle. Not a drip of water was visible in this lake of sand and dirt, but the oak tree groves surrounding the body-less water was no disappointment! And National Grasslands, shmaz-lands, it seemed to be protecting the oil drilling rather than the wildlife. The wind tore through the place but with a little tree protection we decided to still keep the pop top down. Watched the sun set deep into the sky before eating the pizza we ordered as take-out. Snuggled up as the wind sang us to sleep.
