We left Austin and headed north early. The drive was highlighted by stops through small towns, notably, Turkey, Texas. It is home of legendary country  musician Bob Wills and, for us, a previously unexplored gateway into Caprock Canyon State Park. Kai asked to stop at  This and That Thrift  store and met owner Kerrie Red before leaving with a board game and new glove. It was rather hot by the time we ventured into to Caprock. But it was cool to see prairie dogs, red rock cliffs, and a  Southern Plains Bison! A big lightning show awaited us in  Amarillo.

Below are some photos and here’s a link to a video about the Texas Bison.
