Palo Duro Canyon State Park





Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the USA. It's located south of Amarillo TX. The canyon is 120 miles long, as wide as 20 miles and more then 800ft deep. The rim is 3500 ft above sea level. There are more then 30 miles of cycling, hiking and bridle paths. During the three days(11/18-20) we spent in the park, Bruce and I hiked all of them or just about. We also did some Geo-caching and found ten caches. Hopefully, our pictures will show how lovely this park is.

After three nice days in the park, we headed out. We needed to stop at the dump station. While Bruce took care of that I decided to sweep the car out and accidentally locked the keys in the car. We only have one set of keys, so had to call AAA to help us out. That took a good three hours because first time we called they thought we were at a different park and they didn't get our number right to call us back. To make matters worse we couldn't find Bruce's wallet. After searching high and low and asking if it was turned in, I remembered I had stuck it under the car seat so while we were hiking it was out of sight. Thank goodness I found it!!!

We are now in Roswell, NM. There are green martians all over the place!! Tomorrow should be interesting.
