Amarillo RV Park bird list; five birds: killdeer, mourning dove, western kingbird, western meadowlark, house sparrow. It’s hard to hold a lot of birds in a gravel and asphalt RV Park.
North on Highway 287. After four days to get out of Texas; a three state day. Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. We’re back to the high plains; we saw pronghorns and jackrabbits today.
January 3, 2004, we passed through Boise City, Oklahoma on our way south in the ‘02 Bounder. We stopped at the Dairy Queen after dark for chili dogs. They volunteered we could spend the night at the back of their parking lot, and we did. We remember that experience fondly, so when we passed through Boise, Idaho at lunchtime today, we couldn’t resist. We stopped for chili dogs for lunch, even though we had the RV Park restaurant specialty dinner last night: Frito Pie. Frito Pie seems to be a southern specialty. If you’re not familiar with Frito Pie, I’ll spare you the description. Just believe “yes”; it’s as bad as it sounds. The chili dogs at Dairy Queen were also as bad as they sound, but somehow an enjoyable experience just the same.
Tonight, John Martin Reservoir State Park. Worth a bird walk tomorrow morning.
Triple digits again.
970 miles.
Tomorrow…. West.
