Santa Rosa New Mexico to Witchita Falls Texas
Day 20 we made to Texas today. If you have ever driven through Texas you will understand that there is little to write home about. After 5,300 miles we stopped in Amarillo to have the oil changed and had lunch.
Apparently rece
nt rains and flooding in the area have caused the crickets (soon to be the new state insect) to migrate from the creeks to higher ground, like our hotel in Wichita Falls. When we arrived there were thousands camped out just outside ( a few inside ) our hotel lobby. Debbie, not to be denied a hot shower and king size bed, marched right past them and checked in... ordering a room NOT on the 1st floor and promptly checked the room and closed the drains to keep out unwanted visitors. (the picture here does not begin to show the numbers)

Haven't had the opportunity to check in to the blog the past few days. I see I've missed a lot. What fun you are having! Did you see Leo in NM? Yes Texas is a BIG boring state . You'll be happy when you are through it. See you soon!
Love
Brenda
