2010 Red River NM

When you live in Texas and it is August it is time to go somewhere to cool off. This year it was Red River NM about 562 mi  from home.We have learned not to drive this many miles in one day; you can if you like to drive all day. This drive would take about 10 hrs. We do not have to hurry as much as we used to and we enjoy arriving before the sun goes down. That way you can relax and enjoy the evening. Amarillo was about half way. We stayed at Amarillo KOA Park. A very nice and clean park;  good for overnight. We have found out that if you are not sure about the area you are going to be in and need  full hook ups, KOA campgrounds are very reliable. After we set up camp it was time for dinner. We usually do not cook very much until we arrive at our main destination. We either have snacks or go out to eat.  This time we decided on eating out Italian.  An Italian restaurant in Amarillo? hmmm? Not bad; after dinner back to camp and a good night rest.; and then off to Red River NM.
