      Heading back to Texas

      15. oktober 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

      Today was a challenge
      1. Asked at 4:30 am if I could crew. Made it to field and high winds and a transmission problem in case vehicle. No one was able to fly.
      2. Packed up and started out of campsite, some how caught a safety cone under front bumper
      3. I-40 was closed of course after I got on.
      4. Found a back road route but that added hours.
      5. The latch broke on my "escape" window on the trailer. It was flapping. A little string and bungee cord works
      But did make it to Lubbock and have full hook ups and going to catch up on shorts.      Les mer

      Santa Fe

      2. oktober 2023, Forente stater ⋅ 🌬 82 °F

      We traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico where we spent a couple of days. The first day we explored the plaza area and visited the oldest church and home in America. We also visited Loretta Church which has a circular staircase with no central or side supports. Supposedly the nuns needed a way to get to the choir loft but normal steps would take up too much room. They asked a carpenter to build steps in the small church to get to the choir loft. The next day the circular steps were built and the carpenter disappeared. The steps are considered unique. The plaza also has a lot of very nice art galleries. We went to eat at Santa Fe Mac, which is run by a guy from Pittsburgh. He even had a terrible towel hanging in the store. There are a lot of museums in Santa Fe as well. We debated about going to the Georgia O'Keefe or Meow Wolf. We chose Meow Wolf. There was one in Denver as well and it looked interesting. It was completely different, an interactive art, storytelling, problem solving, exhibit. The main part is a house with information about a family. You are supposed to figure out what happened to the family and they were into time machines and messages from outer space. From different places in the house you could get into a different world - the abstract kind of art. You got there through the refrigerator, closet, dryer, etc. So interesting. We solved the 4 questions and got a sticker!! We went to Second Hand Brewery for dinner and then to our very dark and lonely campfire in the national forest. There was no one camping near us!Les mer

      Dag 9

      Tag 9: Amarillo - Adrian - Lubbock

      11. april 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

      Heute war das Route 66 Ziel der Mittelpunkt der Strecke Chicago-LA. Jetzt machen wir kurz „Pause“ von der Route 66 um Midland in Westtexas zu besuchen!
      Die Cadillac-Ranch sind 10 Cadillacs, die im Boden stecken. Das soll wohl ein Symbol von Freiheit sein. Nun gut, wir sind im Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten… oder so. Die Autos, nach Baujahr sortiert, stehen mitten auf einem Feld kurz hinter Amarillo.
      Auf der Weiterfahrt sehen wir in der Ferne eine riesige Fläche. Wolf zeigt sie mir und sagt: „Schau mal da vorn, was das wohl ist. In jedem Fall ist dort ganz viel davon… Vielleicht wieder ein Schrottplatz.“ (Die haben wir jetzt schön öfter einfach so auf Feldern gesehen.)
      Als wir dann dort ankamen, haben wir folgendes Bild gesehen… Nein, kein Schrottplatz, gaaaanz viel Steak 😉
      Der kleine Ort Vega hat verglichen mit seiner Größe sehr viel zu sehen. Am Ortseingang schon hat man das Gefühl im wilden Westen zu sein.
      Die kleine Tankstelle wurde mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail und Hilfe aus aller Welt restauriert. Sogar das Innere wurde wieder schön hergerichtet und ist durch die Fensterscheiben gut zu sehen.
      Dass man in Texas und vor allem laut ihren Einwohnern in der tollsten Stadt des Bundesstaates ist, wird natürlich jedem gezeigt.
      Am Ortsende an dem auch die Route 66 vorübergehend endet (man muss auf der Interstate weiterfahren) gibt es einen kleinen Kramladen oder ein „Museum“!? Die Besitzerin ist wohl im Urlaub erzählt eine Nachbarin. Die Sammeleien kann man trotzdem ansehen, es ist nämlich nicht abgeschlossen.
      Die Dame hat hier wirklich alles gesammelt, was man sich nur vorstellen kann.
      Sehr bemerkenswert ist auch der Cowboy Boots Baum 😉
      Nach diesem kleinen Abstecher fahren wir weiter zum Midpoint, um den besten Burger von Texas zu essen… na gut, wir werden sehen.
      Lecker war es, der beste das glaube ich nicht… Leider hat es auch sehr lang gedauert.
      Neben dem Café ist ein kleiner Laden. Hier kann man nach Herzenslust Route 66 Souveniers, Texas Artikel und sonstige ausgefallene Sachen kaufen.
      Die Dame, Fran, bittet uns sofort rein als wir von außen in den Laden schauen, weil dort ein Nummernschild aus Deutschland an der Wand hängt. Wir kommen ins Gespräch und sie fragt uns, ob wir den Disney/Pixar-Film Cars kennen. Felix hat uns ja schon die Grundcharaktere Lightning McQueen und Hook beigebracht, aber sooo viel mehr kennen wir nicht. Jetzt kennen wir die echte Lizzie. Fran war Vorbild für die Rolle der Lizzie. Als wir ihr erzählt haben, dass wir gern Grillen und ich Dr. Pepper liebe und wir deshalb die Dr. Pepper Marinade kaufen, schenkte sie uns noch eine Spezialsoße! Sie erzählte uns auch, dass es Deutsche waren, die die Route 66 vor etwa 15 Jahren wieder zum Leben erweckt haben.
      Nicht nur in ihrem Laden auch davor lassen sich tolle Schätze aus vergangenen Zeiten finden…
      Ja, wir haben die Hälfte geschafft! Jetzt geht es erst einmal vom Midpoint nach Midland 🙂

      Lubbock, Texas

      3. april 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      The contrast between the pump jacks and wind turbines was on stark display all along our route today as we traveled through west Texas.

      They call the turbines the State Bird of Texas, with good reason. There are over 10,000 of them in the state, which makes Texas the nation's leader in wind energy. It beats out the state in second place - Iowa - by a huge margin.

      We could not believe our eyes. Mile after mile as far as the eye could see were wind turbines. Thousands of them. It seems to be a really great deal for all parties involved. The farmers rent the land to the wind farm operators so everyone makes a profit. Not to mention the jobs that are brought into the area and the lower energy costs.

      A real win-win for all.

      Denny and I arrived in Lubbock, Texas 60 years and a few months after "The Day The Music Died."

      Buddy Holly was born here and after that fateful plane crash on February 3, 1959 he was buried here.

      We played his music as we drove into town singing along to some of our favorite songs. With his signature horn-rimmed glasses and Fender Stratocaster guitar he cut quite a figure in his/our time.

      "True Love Ways"
      "Peggy Sue"
      Oh, Boy"
      "That'll Be the Day"
      "Maybe Baby"

      Thank you, Buddy.      Les mer

      evening one.. Lubbock

      15. mai 2016, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Nearly made it at Amarillo. But terrible rain and my bike actually only going 200 yards at a time, between breaking down slowed our progress. Luckily I whipped the petrol tank off and replaced the small vacuum hose that had split. Fix anything me!
      Checked into a motel. Dry off our boots and have a quick dip m the hot tub to warm up. Nice ribeye steak and chips to finish the day off. So maybe a little drama on day one, but success non the less.
      Texas is a big place. Total trip distance today 407 miles.      Les mer

      28. juni 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

      We left Tyler at 6:30am and drove towards Dallas. Again we stop at Buc eyes for a bathroom break. At Hope Coffee and finally to Juliet Fowler.

      We ran into Susan Malphurs there at JF. She worked at the CAM office when Glenn was there.

      We enjoyed a hamburger lunch at Northwest Bible Church with mom and dad.

      We left early before the program and drove to Lubbock. We enjoyed 2 hour visit with Hugh and Mary Jane Archer. We’ve known them since 1980 from Grand Prairie Bible Church. What fun to remember our times together. Tim and his 2 adult kids came over for a visit. Hugh didn’t have much to say - adult dementia/memory loss.      Les mer

      Long Drive to Texas

      27. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

      Hold on to your socks…this is what happens when I tell John it’s his turn to post! 😁….

      To make a long story long. As we posted earlier I was super conflicted with Fort Collins. I was getting crazy mixed messages from my guides. We love Colorado but like California it has shitty roads, shitty traffic, lots of homeless people and expensive in Denver and Fort Collins

      I left my credit card at a bar in Eagle Colorado the day before. No I was not drunk, only lunch and one beer. Eagle is about the size of Geyserville in the middle of the Rockies. I had been calling them but no one answered the phone. I finally called the Eagle Police Department. An officer went to the bar and called me. They had my credit card and their phone was not working. I started talking with the officer and told him about Fort Collins. He said he lived there for a year prior to moving to Eagle in 2015. He loved Fort Collins, but he said it was a crazy hectic college town with crazy traffic and no matter where you are in town it takes you 15 minutes to get to the freeway.

      Anyway the moral of my long story longer is even when you are having a hard time with things, keep listening to your guides. They will help you know, sometimes even in the most subtle way, what is best. In this case, clarifying that Fort Collins probably isn’t the best place for us.

      When we got up today we checked out Pueblo, which is actually a really nice town. In 1984 the steel company gave pick slips to 6,500 employees devastating the local economy. The city really has not recovered and there is a lot of run down homes and shuttered business. Even so Kimberly and I liked the town but decided to head south.

      Kimberly was really interested in Trinidad Colorado because it was smaller and supposedly up and coming. We liked Trinidad and stopped for lunch and a beer of course. Town was cute but still pretty economically depressed and not enough water for paddle boarding.

      Here comes Texas. Yes it was time to head for Texas. We drove through the north east part of New Mexico and there was nothing there. Onto north west Texas and wow still nothing there. It was all super flat and ranch land and the oil. We drove until it got late and slept in a truck stop parking lot south of Lubbock. No that is not a country song.

      Long day with a long drive tomorrow.      Les mer
