Interesting Travel Day!

We left Abilene this morning and had a very interesting trip, arriving in Amarillo, TX our destination. When we keft this morning we bucked 30 MPH winds, on the 6:00 p.m. news they said the winds here were 47 mph, and I do believe them! We drove through Sweetwater, TX and saw many wind farms, and agriculture. Cattle and horse ranches all along the way. Most of the fields have not been planted yet so there was a lot of red dirt blowing every which way. Farther down highway 84, we thought we smelled smoke, soon we saw a sign that said "Incident". We soon found out what that meant. There had been fires, some were out but we could see smoke in places, and some of the fires were still going. The evening news said highway 84 was now open but had been closed due to fires. Lucky for us, we were not held up and arrived at our destination safe and sound!!!
