Mon, Nov 17: Valley of fires to Crosbyton City Park, TX
We rolled around 7:30am. David reports that route 380 was rough....combined with our noisy lock mechanism...it was noisy. Next time we will try route 60 east and not 380 or give David a gummy. I thought it was scenice and didn't mind the noise.
We stopped to see what Randolph Rampy Rv park looked like in Tatum, NM. Not staying this time but I would if I was in the area. There were two rv's using the amenities. Next stop was Sam's Club in Lubbock TX for gas. We have a walmart plus membership so we get 10 cents off their gas which is usually cheaper for the most part. David could not get it to work. Anyway $2.23 for gas! Next stop Walmart. OMG, LUBBOCK TX, FEEDER ROADS, TRIPLE STACKED HIGHWAYS, BIG CITY...thank God for google maps. I am the navigator and was having troubles. David grew up in TX so he knows about feeder roads...nope not me. Not stopping in Lubbock again unless I can see the store I want.
Texas is windy today and in some areas very dusty. You can see it in the air and blowing across the flat lands. Its also cotton season and the bales of cotton are everywhere and there is cotton in the fields ready to be picked/baled. They jam a LOT of cotton into a bale. SO WHY CAN I NOT FIND GOOD THICK COTTON SOCKS!
We arrive in Crosbyton around 3:30pm. I took Mali for a walk to get the jiggles out. We found LOTS of goatsheads. More than we would ever wish for. I got one on me also/flip flops unknowing. I felt Mali dog's pain. We stopped often because she couldn't walk; I took one for the team. A simple little rv park...free and full hook up if you wanted it. Somewhere after dark another camper came in right next to us...its like a parking lot now with services. But hey its free.
