Originally, I was to camp out at Caprock Canyons State Park at Quitaque, Texas, but as you may have read previously, I’ve given up on camping out for a multitude of reasons and am now ensconced in the Best Western Plus (whatever that means) in Clarendon, Texas, about an hour’s drive from the park.
That hour was enough to discourage my visiting the park even though I have been told by a Texas couple when I was at Lost Maples that Caprock is second only to the Grand Canyon in the size of its canyons.
I did check what maps I could find and it didn’t have any scenic drives shown even though the park says it has them. In any case, I called it a day.
The day started out at 4:30 am (I’m still on EDT) and I read until it was time to go to breakfast at Hacienda del Sol. Mark, who checked me in at 6 pm was already up and preparing breakfast. He did an excellent New Mexican omelet, perfectly cooked, with a green chili salsa.
After breakfast, I hit the road for a 6 1/2 hour drive to Clarendon. Strangely, GPS started me south and then southwest before I finally hit I-40 east. I didn’t make great time since large stretches were through mountainous roads with a 40 mph speed limit.
Those of you who know me know I pretty much follow the speed limit anyway but especially so on trips since police and highway patrol sometime feel out-of-staters are fair game.

In order to compensate for getting cialis this issue, men can use Mast Mood oil. The upside of the slow trip was beautiful scenery, especially the golden color of the quaking aspens.
Another upside is that I am in the Central Time Zone and I should be getting more adapted to the time change and may sleep a little later. Or not.
Tomorrow is a short trip to Mineral Wells, Texas, just outside of Dallas/Fort Worth. Mineral Wells used to be the “in” spot in Texas for their curative mineral waters, but like a lot of those places, now out of favor.
Fred, I hope you found some bluebonnets today. You must be getting tired of the aspens by now. I am sure that you got to go down inside a quiva while at Mesa Verde. If not, Buford may have a storm cellar you can go down into. We are thrilled that you will soon be back among your fans. Let us know when you’re back as Holley wants to take you out.
Someplace expensive I hope!
