We explored Amarillo today. Our first stop was a 2-10-4 locomotive that was displayed near downtown. Unfortunately it was surrounded by a barb wire topped chain link fence. I couldn't get near it and couldn't even get any good pictures. It was a very impressive machine though.
After that we drove to the "old route 66" area. It sounded interesting in the brochure, but it turned out boring. It consisted of some cafes and antique shops. They looked pretty dilapidated, so we didn't start.
Then we decided to go to the plains museum. It's in Canyon, about 10 miles south. It turned out to be closed on Mondays. So I tried a gun store there. It was closed on Mondays also. We ate lunch at this diner sort of place. I ordered the "light" portion chicken fried steak. It was plenty.
We drove back up to Amarillo and stopped at a gun store. It had a really good selection of stuff, but it was all priced at list. We looked around for awhile and then left.
Our last stop was Rudy's. We bought some brisket for myself and some brisket rub for Patsy.
When we got home we took the dog over to the grassy area and threw the bumper for her. She had a great time and now she's really tired. I'm eating brisket for dinner and waiting for football.
