Today, we got up and headed out to explore the area. Since the Rally that we will be hosting is at this park, we thought it would be smart to explore some of the local area to see what types of attractions and eateries there might be here, for our rally-goers to enjoy.

We decided to head into Childress, about 20 minutes west, to see what the town holds. It is the county seat of Childress County, and a little larger than Quanah.
They have a WalMart, which is a good thing to have nearby for a Rally, because they typically have what you forgot or didn't know you needed.
We found a good place to eat lunch at Top Notch BBQ. We both had sandwiches, and they were tasty.
BBQ sausage sandwich and baked potato salad.
After lunch, we went over to the 501 Winery, where we did some wine sampling. It was great!
We also saw the historic steam engine, in a nearby park, that the Winery is named after.
We visited the local municipal golf course, Stoney Ridge. Tony got information for our golfing rally-goers.
We also went to WalMart and picked up a few more things we needed. They had Bluebell Ice Cream! (It has just come back in stores near us, so we are excited to see it.)
We decided to head to Quanah to fuel up since prices were better there than Cisco, so we dropped off our WalMart items and then headed to Quanah, just 8 miles east of the RV Park. We found the location with $1.99 diesel, and fueled up the big tank. It took a while, as the pump was veeerrrryyy slow.
The Medicine Mound Depot Restaurant
We had a great dinner there, snacking on peanuts until our food came.
Tony had Chicken Fried Steak, and I had the Sirloin.
After dinner, we headed back to the park to relax and get ready for the drive to Angel Fire tomorrow. It will be a long drive, so we hit the hay early so we could get up and get on the road by 7:30, if possible.
