Today we moved to Canyon, Tx to visit "Palo Duro Canyon". We are staying at "Paloduro RV" in Canyon, Tx. The day started out kind of crazy. I called "Texas gas" and asked for their location to fill-up the Motor home. Well the lady did not know the exact location as they had just moved. She knew where she was but could not tell me how to get there. After three phone calls I found it and the LP is now full. The 110 mile trip to Canyon was without a problem, we checked in at 1:30 pm. We have a pull threw with 50 amp and the price is 20 per day.

Lisa, Chelsie, and Shelbie arrived about 2 pm.
We drove into Palo Duro Canyon and walked and took pictures.
