Change of plans for today.
For the second year in a row we cancelled plans to visit Galveston Island.
Weather did not look too bad, but not what we wanted for a 7 day stay there. Not that we had to stay that long, but the West is just too much of a "draw" for us - sunshine, something Galveston is not having.
So we satyed on I-40 West and ended up in Checotah, OK for the night. A KOA Kampground, but it's only for the night. Drove 480 miles today.
It's 40 and misting rain and going below freezing tonight, but it looks sunny and clear going West from here tomorrow.
We are making a return trip to Palo Duro Canyon State Park tomorrow. It's in Texas up near Amarillo. Unbelieveable place. Google it for more info. We will spend at least two day there, maybe more. Last time here we were not "blogging" so no picures to look back on. This time we will take a lot to share the beauty of the canyon.
Another day of no pictures. Simply nothing of interest until we get further West.
More tomorrow,
Jim & Ellen & Pups
The best weather we found last winter was in the desert of Southern California at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. We're going back!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, UNCLE JIM, ELLEN, GRACIE AND IZZY!!! Hope your Christmas is relaxing and fun with lots of yummy food. Every time I hear Oklahoma, I can't help but think of the movie, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" - there's a scene where Steve Martin runs around like an idiot screaming, "Oklahoma! Oklahoma!" - if you haven't seen it, it's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Gopi and I are heading out to see Tron in 3D and then pizza and beer at my parents' house tomorrow (where we'll be baking Christmas cookies thanks to Ellen :)
Love you all!! Take care and we'll be following you on the blog!
Love Emily and Gopi
