Day 4

 We’ve been lazy this morning, sitting around drinking coffee and tea, in no hurry to get out and about. It’s 48 deg with 21 mph winds.  I did bravely step outside to take a photo of the sunrise.  Here are a few pics from yesterday that I didn’t get posted.  We actually did have access to a map when we were out of range of cellphone service. 😁 Since it was cold and windy this morning we decided to go to the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.  Tree made completely of bicycle parts.  They were set up for a silent auction of Christmas trees designed by various artists.  Jo Anne, this pic is for Kevin.  A ground sloth A pic of what the ground sloth would look like.  The first electric car built in 1918.
