When we’ve talked about going to Amarillo in the months we’ve been together Michael has often mentioned a restaurant called The Big Texan. They have a 72oz challenge that if you eat in an hour you get the meal free if not you owe them $72. It comes with 4.5 lbs of steak, a baked potato, salad, a roll and 4 fried shrimp. We DID not attempt the challange but we did see a young man (probably 16 or so) attempt the challenge. About 30 minutes in he gave up but it was still neat to see someone try it while we were there. We had a wonderful lunch, brought a gigantic peace of carrot cake back with us and our leftovers to nibble on the next few days and took a few pictures while we were there. Throughout our travels I’ve had this thing about picking up postcards – some I have been saving to put in an album that we are going to make of our travels along with pics we’ve taken, some I send to friends all over the world. I’ve sent some to as far away as Australia.
After lunch and yesterday’s long drive (500 miles is rough when pulling a camper) we took a nap this afternoon, spent some time loving on the puppies and just enjoying being together. We have occasionally had an issue with our A/C freezing up this summer and it happened today. We are in a site with full sun and the humidity got in there and it froze up. Here’s probably the first tip I’ve posted in here but it’s one we’ve used a few times now on our travels. When the a/c does not seem to be keeping up at all watch for water runoff where it usually is however, watch for it to be more water than normal. After about an hour of running just the fan on the a/c and opening the windows while the water poured out of the runoff the a/c is working beautifully again.
Tomorrow morning we’ll be on the road to Pueblo by 9 am our travels tomorrow will only be about 340 miles so not nearly as long. We have our breakfast sandwiches ready for morning and a couple sandwiches for lunch along the way.
