Not much to say about to-day except it rained
and rained. A Healey is not the best place to be in heavy
rain. You can't see very well to drive and water pours in
every orifice. When a large truck passes, you get deluged
with the spray, outside and in.
The only people that will be happy are the fire-fighters.
July 4th is American Day of Independance and fireworks are
very popular. Many States have considered banning them due
to the extreme dryness and fire risk. This rain should help
but the party could be a rather damp squib.
Through the rain we spot cattle, centre-pivots and corn.
Pump jacks everywhere, or as we would say 'nodding donkeys'.
We take Rt. 87 through Dalhart, Dumas, Borger. By-pass Amarillo
by way of Pampa and Electric City a weird sci-fi scene.
Right onto Rt. 70 to Clarandon then Rt. 287 to Childress
where we stop for the day, very soggy.
