Facebook readers, make sure to go to http://texas-traveler.blogspot.com to get the full post! Randy created maps of our route on the Panhandle trip, so you can see for yourself where we went. I've put them here mostly to help me as I back-blog the trip! You'll notice there is no map for Day 4 - we spent that entire day in Canyon, and at Palo Duro, so no map is really necessary.
You'll notice a couple of important things here. One, we never use "main" highways or roads on these kinds of trips. As much as we can, we like back roads! Almost no trucks, and very few fellow travelers, and it's the best way to see the scenery! Two, point A to point B usually includes a few detours for us. Notice on the first map, the loop outside of Lubbock. We had dinner in Lubbock and then traveled out of the city to Slaton, and chased a small storm on our way. It was one of the most pleasantly surprising parts of the trip - and just think, we would have missed it completely if we'd stayed on the main drag in Lubbock!
