Fly Me to the Moon... or Anywhere with No Insects!
Day 13: Canon City, CO to Amarillo, TXWe were definitely in warmer weather today. In fact, from the time we left Canon City, CO, this morning, we were constantly beset by would-be hitchhikers. We finally realized that every time we opened a door or window to chase one of the little fellows out, three or four of his buddies would come in. We battled the pesky rascals all day.
Mostly, we and the flies just logged miles on our way back east today. We're hoping to leave the flies out here somewhere. We did stop at Capulin Volcano National Monument as we cut across the corner of New Mexico and found a couple of letterboxes including one at this vintage movie theater in Dalhart, Texas.
We came across another wind farm today outside Amarillo. In fact, this one is so large, it's called the Wildorado Wind Ranch-- 16,000 acres with 71 wind turbines, generating enough power to meet the needs of 50,000 homes. As you may have guessed, we are fascinated by these huge windmills, especially Ken.
As the sun set over Amarillo, TX, we checked in to our hotel, ready to rest up for another day on the road tomorrow. We're hoping to be traveling alone when we head across Texas toward Georgia.
