Day 41 - Day off in Amarillo, TX

So much to see and so much to do on our day off! The van is currently out of service, so we had to come up with our own method of transportation. One 5-person SUV rental later and 7 of us made our way to Palo Duro Canyon, which is the 2nd largest canyon in the US (second to the Grand Canyon). We hiked up to Lighthouse Rock, which as the name implies is shaped like a lighthouse. It was incredible to finally get out on a real hike again! I forgot the joy of being out in the woods with good friends. :)

Later on, after our return from the canyon, our group went out for Mexican food followed by a trip to Cadillac Ranch! Cadillac Ranch is a now-permanent art installation of a row of old Cadillacs sticking nose-first into the ground. At some point, the cars started getting spray painted by visitors and now it is an expected thing to head out with some paint and to take pictures with your spray paint artwork. We also ran into a Chaco advertising truck at CR! After a good discussion about their cross country trip as well as ours, we got some awesome Chaco bracelets to keep.

Not much else for tonight... the car has been returned and we had a great day off! Goodnight!
