Holbrooks on the Horizon

https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/palo-duro-canyon/fees-facilities/campsites

The first thing Zoom Zoom and I noticed as we approached the front gate is how FLAT the land is around the canyon. It goes on for miles and miles as if the land had been starched within an inch of its’ life. Once we entered the park we descended 800 feet to the bottom of the canyon where our campsite was located. We chose to stay in the Sagebrush campground because it was the closest to the entrance. Also, if it should rain , most of the other campsites get flooded in.

 

I see Wally!

We woke up early Tuesday morning to hike the Lighthouse Trail. This trail was rated “moderate” and was 2.7 miles one way and average time in and out –4 hours. When Zoom Zoom and I left at 8:00 in the morning it was 66 degrees – it felt fabulous!

We had all our gear including 3 liters of water each, snacks, medical kit and rain gear. 

Hiking for us isn’t just about the final destination.  We always stop to admire our surroundings and take pictures. We look for animals, bugs and birds, interesting rock formations and we notice the different flowers. I still have a teacher’s brain so I tell Zoom Zoom, “Take a picture of this…take a picture of that…Jessica needs it for school.”

 

Notice the layers in the earth! The white streaks are Gypsum.

Poor guy! Circle of life…the ants think it is delicious. (Note: we found this guy dead )

We spy the Lighthouse!  The lighthouse is the structure on the right.  Zoom Zoom zoomed in on it!

Yep, still smiling!

I thought this was interesting. Whatever killed this beetle, the beetle put up a fight. You can see all it’s footprints.

See how the water finally weakened  the edges until it broke off?

Can you see the claw marks on the rock! Hmm…mountain lion? And,still getting closer to the Lighthouse!

The first 2.5 miles were slightly hilly. The trail was marked well so we knew where to go. Once we got to the base of the lighthouse it seems as if the trail ascended straight up! I had to crawl on my knees and slide on my bottom for parts of it. For some reason, I became fearful of heights-there were some pretty good drop offs!  Zoom Zoom had to help me more than usual. It’s a good thing he is strong! We finally arrived at the lighthouse. We stayed at the top for about 45 minutes just exploring and admiring our surroundings.

Zoom Zoom posing in front of the Lighthouse.  And, another perspective.

The rocks that look like they are balancing are called “hoodoo’s.”

Just don’t look down!

Handsome Zoom Zoom!

Then it was time to head down. Hmm…remember going up? Now picture this Honey sliding down a lot of the way! Here is where we tell our mom’s to cover their ears – WE GOT LOST! Once we got off the lighthouse (straight down) we were met with several trail choices and none of them were marked! We started questioning ourselves, did we pass this rock, did we step over this branch, does this tree look familiar and it went on. Luckily, Zoom Zoom has a good sense of direction. We weren’t lost for more than 10 minutes. We came across a young girl that had just ascended the first part of the last 2/10ths. Zoom Zoom asked if she had just come up. Poor thing looked ragged – I knew the feeling. She told us she had just come that way. Zoom Zoom warned her there was more to come. She decided to forgo the last little bit since she had her dog with her. Once back on track – smooth sailing until… I HIT THE WALL! My stupid hips kept locking up and my legs felt like rubber. The last 5/10ths were the worst! I just kept telling my feet to keep going, you can do it, one step at a time… Finally, we spotted Jethro! We always take a before and after picture just for our memories. It was 12:45 pm.  4:45 hours., not bad considering the temperature. As we passed the trail head the temperature gauge read 100 degrees! I don’t know if you can tell if we were too hot or not!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Later, in the afternoon, it poured! We wanted to get in more trails before we had to leave. We waited until around 6:00 to head out again. We were going to hike the Rojo Grande. We did attempt the trail – bad idea! It was so muddy. We went maybe 100 yards and punted! Rookie mistake #1 – we forgot extra shoes to change into! We had to wear our disgusting red mud muddy hiking shoes in the Jeep!

No “after” picture since we were only out on the trail for around 10 minutes MAX!

Now it’s Wednesday morning, (9-2-2020). We still wanted to get some trails in, but it was too muddy. We ended up heading into town to the Panhandle –Planes Historical Museum. This gem of a museum is located on the West Texas A&M  University campus. If you like museums and have a lot of time on your hands it is worth visiting.

https://www.panhandleplains.org/

After visiting the Panhandle- Planes Historical Museum, Zoom Zoom wanted to go to another kind of museum. This place is a museum full of RV’s and other memorabilia. A man named Jack Sisemore and his son created the attraction. Better yet…it was  FREE! Jack and his son have a great collection they have restored of several kinds of RV’s. Collecting other memorabilia is also part of the museum. There were motor cycles, gas pumps, signs, cameras, and just an assortment of camping equipment.

Memories!

My family had a Starcraft trailer. So many fun memories!

Once we returned to the RV we decided it was dry enough to try a few more hikes. We decided to take Abby with us. This time we headed out on the Sunflower Trail. This trail was an in and out trail being 2.4 miles long. It was rated “easy.’ We agree, it was easy. Abby loved it. It was muddy in parts, but most of it fell off before we returned to Jethro to head back to Wally. Rookie mistake – we forgot our shoes to change into after the hike! See rookie mistake #1!  Zoom Zoom said wants his money back. We didn’t see ONE sunflower!

We knew we could squeeze in one more “Easy” hike so we headed over to Pioneer Nature Trail. It was a loop and only a 1/2 mile long. Well, mom’s cover your ears again! We did see some neat nature! First we saw racoon footprints in the creek. Then…a rattlesnake was sunning itself on the path. I was leading the way. As soon as I saw it I stuck my hand out (you know the “mom move”) and stopped Jeff and pointed out the snake. I told him it was a rattlesnake. He moved closer to see – yep, rattlesnake. It was as still as a branch. Jeff moved in just a bit to get photos. I reminded him they move pretty fast! It’s amazing how calm we were. It was as if we came across rattlesnakes every day! We were pondering what to do. Next thing I know, Zoom Zoom is holding a stick. Now, you have to realize we are armchair experts – we watch Lone Star Law and North Woods Law all the time. Zoom Zoom just poked the stick at the snake’s tail so it would move on. Sure enough, it turned around and headed back to the woods. Zoom Zoom scared me at the last minute and tossed the stick in the snakes direction. It startled the snake too! Off it went into the woods to go hunting for its dinner. Of course our eyes were even more aware of our surroundings.  We spotted a centipede and a tarantula right before we got to Jethro. No money back necessary on this trail – we saw nature for sure!

Simple trail! Lots of thrills!

Racoon tracks.

Only because one picture isn’t enough!

More beautiful nature from the park.

We WILL be coming back here to hike the trails we missed.

https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2220 

This is a public art installation located in Amarillo, Texas. There is no cost to graffiti these cars. In 1974, 3 members of the art group, Ant Farm, created it. There are 10 Cadillacs in total. All are buried up to the windshield area of the cars. These cars were chosen for their tail fins. The tail fins on the Cadillacs were in 10 years of models. These are “planted’ in order of production.

Today opened up with a beautiful day to spray paint some cars! I have never defaced anything intentionally or unintentionally, it seems kind of naughty! Zoom Zoom and I were equipped with 4 cans of spray paint.  As Wally neared the site we could see, jutting up from the flat landscape, a group of Cadillacs “planted” in a farmer’s field.

  

There they are…yep, a farmers field!

Now if you know Zoom Zoom personally, you know he researches everything! So, Cadillac Ranch we know all your tricks! One of his suggestions he read was to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or even spray paint on them. Bring an extra pair of shoes to change into after walking through the field. Luckily, we had our rain boots with us. We scored our own cars to paint on since they were surrounded by a small mucky moat. I think the hardest thing was to think about what to spray. We wanted to leave our mark even knowing it would be covered up by the next person with a spray can. I love Out Youth’s motto “Fearlessly Be Yourself.” I decided to wear my t-shirt and to paint that on the car. Zoom Zoom decided to just sign our names “Honey and Zoom Zoom.”

No amount of hairspray will keep your hair in place!

See Wally(RV) and Jethro(Jeep) in the background?

  A family with no paint just observing and using a drone to film the experience watched us as we painted. We gave them our leftover paint. As we were leaving , a frustrated dad living his best life wearily cleaned his families’ destroyed shoes. He had little ones that enjoyed the mucky mud. There is no water near by so you have to use whatever you have handy.

Abby gives this place 2 Paws Up!

Leaving the field of cars, we headed to the souvenir store. Out front there are 3 Cadillacs on display. Each one is being driven by an icon in the music and film industry. John Wayne, Elvis Presley, and Willie Nelson adorn the driver’s seats. It’s a little bizarre, but who doesn’t like bizarre?

John Wayne                                                                                                                        Willie Nelson

  As far as returning again…we shall see!

Tips if you should go…

1. Wear expendable clothes. It is a dirty , windy place. If you go on a day like we did it is even muddy. The wind is impossible to block so overspray is a given.

2. Bring your camera to document this memory.

3. Bring 3 pairs of shoes.  One to were in the field, mucking boots if it is muddy, and a pair to slip on when you get back to your vehicle.

4. A “Tall” kitchen bag to place your dirty footwear in.

5. Towels to wipe off any mud and dirt sloshed on you.

6. Zoom Zoom’s tip – Mineral Spirits to clean off the spray paint overspray. Even smarter-wear latex gloves. The spray paint gets on you, especially your spraying finger!

7. Pick up some extra trash while you are visiting.  There is a dumpster for your trash.

There they are…yep, a farmer’s field.

Some individuals don’t understand this concept!

Smile, you’re on camera!

The Gateway Arch, located in St. Louis, is one of those iconic places that you what it is when you see a picture of it. It is also one of those places that needs to be on everyone’s bucket list just to say you have been there, bought the t-shirt and sold it in a garage sale! The unique thing about the Arch is it is as tall as it is wide-630 feet both ways!

The city of St. Louis ran a competition for a “symbol” that would make St. Louis stand out. It needed to be unique. It is the tallest structure in the U.S. The winner, Eero Saarinen. The Gateway Arch was constructed with the intention of letting people go up inside to look out the viewing windows. The tricky part occurred when they had to figure out how to move people from the ground to the top. Turns out that the combined the knowledge of how an elevator works, an escalator works, and a ferris wheel works was used to create a car that holds 5 passengers. Each side of the arch has 8 cars, so 40 people each trip can be transported to the top. Once at the top you are allowed to stay as long as you wish.

After going up in the Arch we had tickets to ride the riverboat on the Mississippi River. A Parks Ranger was the tour guide. Mostly, we learned about the things on the other side of the boat. I know we were going to turn around and see that stuff, but I’ve already forgotten which building was which by then. 🙂 Plus, the ranger had long lapses in his information. I think we had been spoiled with the fantastic tour guides we had on our Adventure Trek trip. Hint Hint! Go on an Adventure Trek trip if you can!

If you asked me that day about my experiences, I ‘d tell you to save your money on the Riverboat Cruise. Reflecting after several days, I’d still say the same thing. There isn’t much to see on the river. I think that is why the Park Ranger had such gaps in his talk. Look at our photos, there isn’t much substance there. Bridges, barges, graffitied buildings, and some workers working was all we could take photos of. Again, save your money.

The Gateway Arch, go up at least once in your life. It gives you a frame of reference when it is talked about. No need to stay downtown. We stayed at a KOA in a town nearby. With today’s navigational systems it is easy to get to almost anywhere.

***When you park, if it is in a garage, take your parking ticket with you. It becomes a key card to let you into the area that has the elevators and stairways to your car! Nowhere was a sign telling us to bring the ticket, we just did and got lucky!

When we rode the ferry over to P.E.I. we knew the ride was “free.” The way P.E.I. gets you is they charge you to get off the island. There are two ways to get off. Well I guess you could always figure out more ways, but, for us and our situation we had 2 choices. We could take the ferry again or go over the Confederation Bridge. The Confederation Bridge is 8 miles long, most of the bridge is 141 feet above the water and it is 36 feet wide. There are 62 piers total holding up the bridge.

Toll fees aren’t cheap. It costs $47.75 for a 2 axle vehicle and then an additional $8.25 for each additional axle. Here’s your math test- we had Wally and Jethro how much did our fees run?

Yippee…Yahoo…Hooray…Celebrate if you were right!

On our way home we had to stop and get a photo with the “World’s Largest Lobster” in Shediac, NB. This lobster happens to be where the Tourist Information Center and some other cute little shops were near the water. The bonus for Zoom Zoom happened when we bought some vacuumed packed lobster at the Shediac Lobster Shop. I think he is going to miss his lobster rolls the most.

After we leaving Shediac, we headed to the border! We weren’t sure how customs was going to go. We always hear horror stories!

We see the U.S.A.! Customs was a snap! All they asked was what we had on board, what we did in Canada and how long we had been there. Then he asked if I’d open up the RV’s side door. The customs officer stepped in looked left and right. Then told us to have a good day! Zoom Zoom said he was looking to see if we were smuggling anyone across. I’m so naive, I thought he was making sure we were telling the truth.

Welcome to Calais, Maine!

https://www.calaismaine.org/

As we rode the tour bus, they took us to the Green Gables House where Lucy Maud Montgomery’s first novel was inspired; Anne of Green Gables. This home is now being run as a museum by relatives of Lucy Maud’s. If you buy any of L.M. Montgomery’s books one of the relatives will even sign it for you. 🙂

The house itself is so adorable. It is amazing how simple we used to live. Mostly I’m speaking about the storage and closet sizes. Everything is so small. This particular home, Lucy Maude would stay here at times with her Aunt and Uncle and she was married here. Her mother died when she was two years old of and when she was 7 years old her father turned her over to her grandparents. Basically, she ended up spending a lot of time between relatives homes since her grandparents were older. She had a great imagination and writing was a way to express it.

We stopped at the Parks Canada L.M. Montgomery’s Cavendish National Historic Site. They have preserved her cousins’s house and some of the trails Lucy would play on when she was a little girl. These places were also inspirational for Lucy’s stories.

The last night of the tour we saw the musical – Anne of Green Gables. Wow, what and amazing production. Canadians aren’t like Americans, at least not during this production. They asked us not to take any photos during the production and NO ONE did! I was in disbelief! Usually, people just let those kinds of things go in one ear and out the other! I loved every minute of the musical. If you have read the book you know exactly what the musical is about.

St. Dunstan’s has 23 statues of Saints and angels. There are nearly 300 angel representations in the stained glass. The wood work , the paint work and all the custom details are so impressive. It is a beautiful church.

Today was a fun day exploring some of P.E.I. on our own. We headed over to Cows Ice Cream Factory to take a self guided tour.

https://welcomepei.com/feature/cows-ice-cream/

The first Cows opened in Cavendish, P.E.I. in 1983. In 2008 Cows was voted the best ice cream in Canada. I agree, it is delicious. Today they have 32 flavors – I like Mooey Gooey and Wooey Cowey!

Cows is known for their cute t-shirt designs. The first graphic designer, Marc Gallant, designed the first one in 1987.  He created several “whimsical cow themed designs” for 7 years until his passing in 1994.  Shortly after his passing, the Cows’ President, Scott Linkletter, hired another Graphic Designer, Shawn Mader, to continue the line. From 1994 until today, Shawn has designed over 150 special Cow designs. They put them on t-shirts, mugs, stickers, key rings, pencils, socks, sleepwear and so much more! Go to their website and check their stuff out! https://shop.cows.ca/clothing/

After touring this location in Charlottetown, we headed over to their location in Avonlea to have some ice cream with all of the Adventure Trekers.

Thank You, Everett, Jeanette, Tom, and Rebecca The ice cream was delicious!

Here’s something about their ice cream – it is NOT diet friendly! 🙂 🙂 🙂

During this 39 day Adventure Trek, Zoom Zoom gained 13 pounds and I gained 15 pounds! We went so far off our regular routine of eating AND drinking! We usually only drink after lawn work or maybe on special occasions. Here we drank almost EVERY night! Next Trek we do we we’ll be sure we stick to our “Sexy Pace.”

As I am writing this, we are back on track with our regular eating routines and I’m already down 5 pounds! Zoom Zoom has probably lost all 13 pounds! Eating Cows ice cream every time we saw one was one of the reasons we gained weight. I wouldn’t change anything now – just be better next time! :}

We are still on the tour bus during this blog! I’ve decided to break this post up into a few sections. This first section is houses of P.E.I., second section is businesses and the third is photos of barns and rusty buildings!

If these aren’t your thing – just skip this page.

Oh what do you say about an island that every where you look is picture perfect? Each of the provinces have been absolutely beautiful. This one especially in it’s own way. Our trip here puts us in the center of the island. During our stay we did’t have time to venture out to either the east or west side of the island – darn – we will need to come back!

The thread that runs through the four maritime provinces is how proud they are of their things. Homes are taken care of. Businesses are taken care of. Painted when needed and in those fun colors. If you want a lavender home with deep purple trim – go for it. I love the cornflower blue homes with the sunflower yellow trim and doors with a pop of orange color here and there. Their yards are mowed and trimmed to perfection. Some look as if they even use nail clippers on them. Bushes will be trimmed in spirals or neat boxes. Flowers are everywhere. It seems as of you live in one of these provinces having a green thumb is just part of your DNA make up. I remember Zoom Zoom’s dad one day saying that, “Pulling weeds is free.” For some reason I’ll never forget that. It’s true. It is another thing that makes us so different from them. We cross the border and the USA looks very unkempt – pulling weeds is free! Of course I’m generalizing. It’s not EVERY place on our side, but just go visit and you will notice immediately. They are a very proud society – rich, poor and in-between.

These first photos are what I took from the front seat of Wally between the ferry and the campground. I set my camera on the fast speed and it works like a dream! Here is where I’d like to apologize to my fellow Trekers- I never even thought how the noise of the camera might have been annoying to you! If we EVER do a caravan trip again I will most defiantly sit in the back of the bus. I take so many photos because I have that disease – I forget everything and quickly. I’m already having to ask Zoom Zoom your names. Remembering where we have and haven’t been is a big challenge and it can be embarrassing. I hate that but it’s real and it’s what’s happening. This is why I am documenting my life for me so when I am truly lost maybe these photos will help some how. You never know! Plus, I just simply enjoy taking photos, editing them and posting them – even if they are just for me and Zoom Zoom.

July 28 we went on our bus tour! We toured the entire center of P.E.I. The nice thing is the buses have all come to our campgrounds. Our tour guide today has been working for the same company for 10 years! That’s a lot of accrued knowledge. These photos were mostly taken from the bus. Again to my fellow friends, I’m sorry for the clicks! Just storing memories!

“All Your Cows are Dead” is a car game we played when I was a kid as we traveled. The idea was as we drove from point A to point B you counted the cows on your side of the car. The goal was to have the most cows at the end of the trip. If you passed a cemetery on your side the other side would say, “All Your Cows are Dead” and you go back to zero. Now what if your sibling or friend didn’t notice the cemetery on your side? No worries, keep your cows!
