Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Day 1 – Texas The first day’s drive was fairly short and needed to be because we left after work to spend the night with friends in Amarillo. We have both made this drive often as we went to college in the Texas Panhandle. The most direct way to get from DFW to Amarillo is

We bought a house! If I’m not posting as much for the next couple of months hang in there. I have a lot of great stuff coming to McGee Travel Tales from reviews to trips to hikes but have some actual house keeping to get completed first. In the mean time don’t forget to check

There is a green brachiosaurus somewhere off HW 287 and recently while hiking down near Navasota, TX we went past
