Tim came down for the weekend. His nominal reason for the visit was to help Dennis fix his car. But he also wanted to see his mom and his brother. We had a nice lunch with Tim, Dennis, and Judy on Sunday. Ron, Ari, Erica, and Ari's friend Domenic also joined us. Marianne fixed meatloaf and cole slaw.
On Monday, Richard voted early, and we hit the road about noon. Highway 287 goes from Denver to Fort Worth, so all we needed to do was stay on 287. Once we got past Denver, the landscape changed to the empty plains, beautiful if austere. Highway 287 has been rebuilt as a major truck route, so is in very good condition. About half the vehicles were large trucks.
We stopped around 4:30 at a "Campground and Horse Motel" in Lamar, after driving a little more than 200 miles. We plan to drive to the Amarillo area on Tuesday, and stay in the historic and scenic Palo Duro Canyon State Park.
The kayak will be used later in the trip, when Richard attends the paddlefest in Corpus Christi.
