Today we were slow moving, as expected after skiing. We lounged around and napped a bit, until lunch.We had been watching the weather, and they were predicting snow starting about 9am on Saturday, which was when we planned to leave. The temps were going to also be below freezing overnight, which meant anything that fell would likely make driving treacherous. The forecast went on to predict snow chances increasing for the next 36 hours, beyond that -- so if we got stuck here, we'd be stuck for a while.

So, we decided to go ahead and pack up and start going home. Not what we wanted, but better safe than sorry. We pulled out about 2:15MST. We expected to go as far as Dalhart, but because we had rested in the morning, Tony felt good enough to keep going on to Amarillo.
Luckily, we had called ahead to get a reservation at our park of choice, the Oasis, and found out they were completely full! Wow! So we ended up making a reservation at Amarillo Ranch RV park, which is about 2 exits further east, on the north side of I-40.

We had no issues getting into the park, they had it well marked and a good map to our site. The wind was blowing and it was below freezing, so we made quick work to get set up. We ran off our tank for water.
We had alerted my relatives of our being back in Amarillo, so we worked it out to have lunch with them tomorrow, before we head back to Cisco.
