We had a HOT but enjoyable night in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, in Canyon, TX. They hold productions of a musical called, "Texas" there every summer. This is their 46th season. The show came recommended by a number of people we spoke to (from S. California to Texas itself), so we spurged and bought tickets. We started with an interesting steak dinner. They had fruits and salad, too, so we all ate pretty well. Unfortunately, although it was 6pm, it was still deathly hot. By the time the show started at 8:30pm it was only uncomfortably hot. The show was lively and colorful. It was....well, let's just say that Texans have a healthy state patriotism, and they clearly do things a bit differently in TX. :)
We had a nice time overall. JW got "overheated" during the 2nd act and had to leave. They are apparently used to such things because they had a "routine" for helping. They gave him packs of ice to put under his arms and stuck him in the walk-in refrigerator! That worked so well that he was too cold! LOL
The people in Texas were really quite friendly, even the guys who were working in 109 deg weather as they fixed (yet another) flat tire on the RV. We left TX this afternoon and are currently driving through Oklahoma. It is getting greener as we travel East, but it is not getting cooler. It was over 100 deg today and even now at 8pm is it still crazy hot! I have NEVER experienced this kind of crazy hot weather, and I hope never to again!
We hope to sleep at a rest area somewhere btw Oklahoma City and Tulsa tonight. We head for Missouri in the morning.
