Great San Francisco Trip 2013 Day 53 Amarillo, TX

Day 53 Wednesday September 11
In the middle of the night we experienced a deluge.  It was amazing to look out in the morning and find no puddles.  We got up at six and packed the tent.  After washing up we went to the Rabbit Ear Cafe for a hot breakfast while it started to rain again.  We drove in the rain well into the Texas Panhandle.  We had lunch in the Lake Meredith NRA (site 360) where it was so windy that we put out our tent, tent fly, and plastic from under the tent, and they were all dry in less than 20 minutes.
We went on to the Alibates Quarries National Monument (site 361) where we watched a video about the site.  You can only tour it by reservation.  Arriving at the Amarillo KOA in good time, we made calls to determine what to do about our air mattress leaking air around its pump.  The first advice was to grease it with Vaseline. We had a great meal at Abuelo's, an Amarillo tradition.
