Days 3-4 of the big trip out west

The destination for day 3 was Amarillo, TX. We stayed at the Amarilloo Ranch RV Park. It was a very nice place, with reasonable rates -- especially after taking our Passport America discount. It was nice to pull in after a harrowing encounter with a Flying J just a couple of exits before. They had all the auto lanes torn apart and only the RV lanes were available for people to get gas. It was a real madhouse!

The RV park is very nice. Across the street is this water slide that looks so scary. This picture doesn't do it justice, but the mosquitos were out (that surprised me since it was so dry) so I just took the picture from near our coach. The big white slide is like a slalom, similar to what skateboarders use. They go down the one side, up the other, and hopefully back down rather than over the top.

Day 4's destination was Albuquerque, where we'll be staying for 9 nights. Our friends pulled in about an hour or so after us and we had a wonderful dinner at Fiesta's Restaurant & Lounge, then nice conversation outside back at the campground.

Our motorhome is the one in front with the little red car parked in front. The next one down is our friend's Newmar. These are the friends that got us interested in buying an RV.

Here's a view of the mountains from the RV park.
