We started the day at a Flying J in Amarillo, Texas, but the lines were long and other places were selling diesel cheaper so we backed out of line and headed back up to Route 66.
Rumor has it people are trying to preserve the Triangle Motel. They aren’t yet doing a good job of it.
The Triangle is doing better than the Natatorium, though. The Nat started as a place to swim then converted to a ballroom. There’s now so much stuff built around it that we couldn’t get a decent picture.
Next we went to Bed, Bath & Beyond. I’ve been having trouble sleeping on the jack-knife style sofa bed. On the View/Navion discussion group someone suggested getting a king bed bridge from BB&B. That turns out to be a t-shaped piece of foam that’s designed to go between two twin beds to turn them into a king bed. It was only $15 so it seemed worth trying. It turned out to be worth a lot more than that for me.
Then we went to WalMart to get new caps for my prescriptions and to stock up on groceries again. The pharmacy clerk who originally filled the prescriptions left something to be desired; she never did get our address right even though she copied it off the prescriptions. After watching her struggle with that I forgot to ask for easy off caps. So, Dave took the caps into this WalMart with him and asked them for some non adult proof caps. That got him a double take but he did come back with caps I can remove without his help.
By the time we got through there all we wanted to do was veg out. So we went next door to Burger King for lunch. We don’t do that often but, for me, BK burgers are comfort food.
That helped enough to let us continue. Next stop: Cadillac Ranch. This place is a hoot! Ten Cadillacs buried nose down in the dirt. The owner, Stanley Marsh, encourages people to walk through the gate in the fence and add their graffiti to the cars. We took pictures instead. I especially got a chuckle out of the sign posted along the fence. The dumpster was on the road side of the fence.
We were too tired to head on down the road but not thrilled about going back to the campground we’d stayed at the night before either. So we were pleased when we found another campground right at the corner by Cadillac Ranch. The Amarillo West RV Park only wanted $20 for full hookups so we stayed there. It wasn’t fancy but it offered everything we needed and then some. Dave even used their shower facility before we settled down to sleep.
TTYL,
