On the road north from Midlothian May 7&8

The first night we just parked in a Wal-Mart lot for the night in Childress, TX and the wind was so strong all day and night and the next day. It rocked the coach some all night. On Friday we finally got out of the top tip of Texas into Oklahoma and we staying 3 nights in Dodge City, Kansas. We saw a prarie dog town as we drove with their little sentinels standing watch. We saw a very large wind farm near Montezuma, Kansas. We passed an area that was just covered by gas wells and Dee and Marvin gave us a lesson in how that all works. It was really interesting. This is a big area for growing grains. The fields were so green and lots of grain elevators and with the wind blowing like it was when you passed one of these the wind currents caught you again and made it hard to steer. It was an interesting phenomonon(sp). One of the neatest things--we passed two groups of storm chasers. The lead vehicle looked like something out of a sci-fi movie(all metal covered with a pointed front end and of course all kinds of antenna and a dish). We also had to stop and take a picture of a very large dinosaur on the top of this hill next to the road out in the middle of no where near Canadian, TX. This for our grandson. The next couple of days we will check out Dodge City and the surrounding area and let Marvin get a little rest.
