Overnite RV Park in Amarillo Texas October 26 2010

David’s city rhyme:   I hope to sleep like an armadillo as we spend the night in Amarillo.

Last night was very scary because we had 70 mile per hour gusting winds rocking the motorhome back and forth all night long. We were rocking so hard I thought the motorhome was going to flip over on its side any minute. There wasn’t another RV in front of us so we were the wind break for the rest of the RVs on the hill. Hard rain and hail came next. We didn’t dare get back on the road because the cross winds from the storm really would have tipped us over. So much for a peaceful 3 day break: it was such a relief when the winds stopped and we could leave this crazy place.

It was a nice drive to Amarillo Texas for our next stop at the Overnite RV Park. This park was a nice park with large grassy sites, trees and picnic tables. There was even a dog run at the rear of the property. We noticed some long term renters and thought about how it would be to stay here for longer later on, but it would get too cold for us in the winter and their monthly rate is probably expensive monthly if the nightly rate is any indication. They did have free movies and a book exchange. The drawback to the exchange is the fact that the owner won’t trade if your books have any romance in them at all. I had some mystery romance books that have very little but they didn’t pass muster. I did get some great military suspense books for the ones she would trade.

I made some bread in the bread machine that night. It was the first time we had used the bread machine in the motorhome. It was wonderful waking up to the smell of fresh baked bread. The bread tastes better and it is cheaper than the store brands.
