Red River NM is about 5 hours away for a great vacation spot. The Texas panhandle takes time to get used to. Some days the wind will blow 50 mph all day. Right on the edge of Tornado Alley. They usually form in this area and head East in OKlahoma.

Where exactly are you at? I'm just about 2 - 2.5 hours from Amarillo to the east.
Been to Amarrillo once, and that was just to the fair grounds on the east side of town so far so I really can't say much about it. I do know that when I lived in Uselysses we had people that preffered going to Amarillo than Wichita for shopping and medical stuff.
Anyone eaten the big steak? The advertise along I-40 here about it. Had a guy in my church try it once and he said it wasn't a very good cut of meat - said the one he got was more like a roast than anything else.
