Amarillo

I  decided to stop in Amarillo today . it was already almost 2 o'clock and my intended destination was 4 1/2 hours away. It felt good to set up early and in the daylight! 
The trip from Albuquerque was uneventful. Mostly on the interstate for this part of the trip you are looking at plains -lots of plains- a d mesas. Because of the plains,the wind can get pretty strong. I stopped at a TX travel center and was Ted the wind was  blowing around 28 mph. My little camper was a bouncing ball!
The man next to me is in a mongo huge camper and he came over to offer any help I needed setting up.  He helped me use my leveled which was a first-time use.
He and his wife sold their home in FL in 2008 and have been traveling since.
I used the time this afternoon to rearrange some things and make things easier to get to. 
This part of i40 parallels Route 66. Joann and I took part of that route  in 2006 and stayed in a concrete teepee one might.
I'm going to attempt to send a picture.
Have a good day and I'll "talk to you" tomorrow! ( Internet is down so I 'm typing this on my iPhone)
