Canyon, TX

Texas Grand Canyon

Gobble Gobble




Route 66







Went to Palo Duro Canyon Park today. Just a preview to the Grand Canyon. It is known as the Grand Canyon of Texas. Got Owen to take a short hike, he worries about snakes so it was a big deal for him. No snakes all day, we did see a couple of turkeys. Spent most of the day there and then went to find Route 66. We found it and it was a bit disappointing. The write up sounded great but it was nothing like the description. No little shops, restaurants etc. We did have lunch at "Smokey Joe's". Very good food and reasonable. Glad we ate outside since smoking is allowed. Hard to get used to that. We were going to go to another museum, Panhandle Plains Historical Museum but everything seems to close at 5 around here and we only had a little less than an hour for the largest museum in Texas. Oh well. Still trying to find a post office. Have the worst time trying to find them. Hopefully tomorrow. We move on to New Mexico and get another 25 hour day, Mountain time zone, tomorrow.
