Back to Texas.....wrapping up this years travels!

 
Sorry all.  I really procrastinated on the final blog update.  We got back to San Antonio on October 12th and here it is the 24th! 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Heading out of Colorado........September 21, 2015
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
Texas here we are and boy is it still hot........have enjoyed the cooler weather in the northern areas
 
 
Had to go and eat here.  It is known for its 72 oz. steak that you get free if you can eat it (and the sides) within 1 hour.  Surprise, surprise.  On 5/26/2014, Molly Schuyler, weighing in at 120 lbs, ate one dinner in less than 5 minutes (4:58), then on the same day, ate another 72oz steak and sides in less than 10 minutes (9:59).  You can go to    http://bigtexan.com/  There is a 40 page list of people that have eaten the 72oz steak.    If you are staying in town, they offer free Limo service for anyone that eats at their restaurant. 
 
 
 
 
                                               
 
 
                                     
 
                                     
 
                                     
 
 
This is NOT the 72oz, but its plenty big.
                                      
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I don't remember where I took this picture but it is a great picture of Ronnie.  We evidently were shopping somewhere again, hehe.
                                               
 
At our park in Amarillo, Texas
 
The cadillacs that have been "planted" are also near here.  Didn't get a picture of those.
 
 
An RV sales and service in Amarillo also has a museum that we found interesting.  Love this dog house and dog dishes
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This was in the movie "RV".  We met a fellow that now owns the RV that Robin Williams rented in the movie.  He was at Fort Sam Houston at one point. If I find the picture, I will add it to this post. This is the RV the Gornike family drove in the movie.

Hey, my name is on this.
 
 
 
Beautiful artwork.  Would love to buy some, however, a bit pricey.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Who are these two?

Arrived at Lake Texoma Thousand Trails (on the Oklahoma and Texas border)
 
                                     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                
 
 
                                    
 
We are on squirrel alert!
 
 
 
Shopping at a store called Dennards near Lake Texoma.  They had really nice and different western décor.
 
 
On Lake Texoma
 
 
 
 
The Beck Family Reunion in Bowie, TX on October 11th.  Dennis and I crashed the reunion. Haha.
 
 
 
 
 
                                              
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Home sweet homes.  Pulling out of Bay Landing on October 12th to head back to San Antonio
Didn't get a picture of Myron and Karen pulling out at O-Dart thirty, but had a picture where they were parked so shared that.  We had 300 miles to go to get to San Antonio so left very, very, very, very early (at least according to the times we normally would leave) to beat rush hour.  ;-(). 
 
 
 
                                     
 
Our 2015 trip - 4,733 RV miles, June 10 - October 12, 2015
                                        
 
I think all had lots of fun.  I know I did! Got to spend time with my family in North Dakota and see lots more country.  Hate to see it come to an end.  On the last day, we all were a little sad to see it end.  But.....next year... here we come!
