A few years ago Henry Wishard and I were challenged to host a TEXAS RALLY.
We have accepted the challenge and are announcing the 2015 Palo Duro Canyon Rally
to be held in Palo Duro Canyon State park in Canyon Texas, just south of Amarillo.
The Rally will officially start on Sunday May 10.
You can make reservations by calling 512-389-8900 AFTER JUNE 8, 2014. This is the Texas State
Parks Central Reservations in Austin TX. Cost for the week should be around $226. This will
include the camping fee of $24 per day plus the cost of a Park Pass. It's probably cheaper to buy
the Annual Texas State Park Pass than daily passes. This also gives you access to the other Texas
State Parks and there are many of them that are great places to visit.
PLEASE LET THE OPERATOR KNOW YOU ARE WITH RV FORUM. They cannot assign spaces yet, but
before the rally the park operators have indicated to Henry that they will place us all in the Mesquite
Camp Area. This area has some 50 amp, all have water and there is a dump station. At this location
you also have reasonably good cell service.
Maps of the Palo Duro Canyon are on line and I hope to scan and post a map here very soon.
The format of our week together will include a variety of opportunities for hiking, golf, Jeeping, and touring
the Texas Panhandle. We will make plans to visit the Alibates National Monument. This is an area where
Native Americans came over 10,000 years ago to quarry flint for making weapons and tools. We have
to tour under the watchful eye of a Park Ranger. (No picking up souvenirs).
There are many attractions in the Texas Panhandle to visit and tour. Among them are in Canyon Texas the High Plains Museum is a very interesting place. It is on the campus of West Texas A&M University (my Alma Mater), The Cadillac Ranch is just west of Amarillo, The American Quarter Horse Museum is also in Amarillo on I-40.
Our "Last Supper" will be a trip to the Big Texan Steakhouse. If you're brave enough, they offer a 72 oz.
sirloin steak dinner that is FREEif the entire dinner, including potato and salad, are eaten in one hour. It's
a fun place to visit.
We look forward to seeing you in TEXAS!
Cowboy boots and hat optional, but we will make fun of you if you don't have them. . . .
