]]> It’s a pleasant drive once you get out of the madness of Dallas and Fort Worth.  Uneventful until we ran into some rain about an hour east of Amarillo.  We checked into our RV Park just before the winds gusted up to 40-50 miles per hour.  Not unusual for the Texas Panhandle at this time of year.  We will be on the road tomorrow morning for day 2 in this road trip on the way to our volunteer jobs with Petrified Forest National Park and Painted Desert in Northern Arizona.  No pictures tonight due to the stormy weather.

]]> Overnite Rv Park 

Tomorrow is the day we leave for our summer volunteer position with the National Park Service at Petrified Forest National Park in Northern Arizona.  The first leg of the trip is 359 miles from home in Dallas Texas to Amarillo Texas.  We are headed for the Overnite RV Park right outside Amarillo.  This is the best park ever if you travel with your dogs.  You may request a campsite with a dog corral that is just for your use.  There is no extra charge just call and ask them to reserve a site with the dog pen.  For a roadside RV park this is a pleasant and fairly quiet place to spend the night.  I will try to get some pictures tomorrow night of that wide open West Texas sky.
