I know Lee Hunt likes the prairie, but I think we are in overload! From Childress, TX, this morning to the Oklahoma line, the road was curvy and a little hilly and really neat. OK is flat and gassy (not grassy), while the parts of Kansas we have seen so far are just flat! Saw a couple of feed lots and that was interesting and it is really fun to watch the clouds gather on the horizon, though. We went through a really cute town named Shamrock in TX and they have taken great pains to restore buildings from the early 1900's.
We are going to take a field trip tomorrow and will blog about that tomorrow night. In the meantime, we would have taken pics of supper, but we haven't hit our stride yet on picking great places to eat!
If you don't believe TX is in a severe drought, take a look at the picture of the Red River. I don't think the picture shows the 4-wheeler marks all over the riverbed. The Brazos River looked the same. The Brontosaurus was made by a former highway worker and is named Aud after his wife.
Well, "prairie" is different than crazy arid, overused agricultural and ranch lands...Sounds like it is truly the "road to nowhere" afterall. And that you didn't aim for Colorado in the end. Love the Brontosaurus! Hope you find some good food and look forward to hearing about this mystery field trip.
ReplyDeleteI once saw a study that shows Kansas is scientifically provable to be flatter than a pancake. Go figure.
