Palo Duro Canyon

The PT's met at the Travelodge in Amarillo on Saturday afternoon to cruise out to Palo Duro Canyon. There were 10 PT's and since Emily had offered to help Cathy drive her car, Julie got to drive the Batmobile! YAY!!!

Julie had a great time driving the PT...it's a stick shift!!!

The Big D and Caprock Cruiser Clubs met at Palo Duro for a potluck picnic and just like any potluck, there was TONS of food! After eating, we headed for the water crossing to play in the water and mud. It was so weird to step into the water, though, because it was WARM!! In Colorado, if you step into a stream, it's cold because it's coming from snow melt. It was just unnatural for the water to be warm.

The temperature of the water didn't make a difference to Jamie & Shelby, however. They managed to get completed soaked and/or covered in mud! They had such a great time!

While playing in the water, Julie met a young man who, after talking with him, turned out to be a nephew of a friend who used to live in Alamosa. Small world!


We played in the water for an hour or so (OK, maybe two hours...) and then dried off and put clean clothes on the kids before heading over to the Palo Duro Ampitheatre. We all had tickets to watch the show "Texas" performed live in the ampitheatre. It was entertaining but made for a very long day. We didn't get back to Emily's house until after midnight. We were all exhausted!
