Monday, May 31st

Yesterday we attended church at the First Baptist Church in Floydada. Very big and impressive church. Floydada is a small town and to have a church this big is really something. It is one of these churches that take up an entire city block, very impressive for Floydada.

Today, we started at the Motley County line, Matador was 14 miles away. As soon as we started we noticed a difference in the landscape. No more farmland, we are actually walking among hills, gullies, draws, trees and shrubs. We are back in cattle country, no farming here. The scenery is very different and welcome. There is nothing wrong with farmland, but it is nice to see something different for a change.

John and I wore American flags today in honor of the soldiers who died for our country. We got more honks and waves today.

After completing 11 miles, we decide to drive the extra 3 miles into Matador just in case there was an RV park there. We came across a restaurant just as we were entering town, they had an RV park, Billie Dean's Motel-Restaurant-RV Park! We went inside, met Billie Dean and her son, and told them we would be back this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, instead of driving 30 miles to the starting point, we now will drive 2 miles.

John found a Texas license plate. Stay tuned .......
