May 1st Arrived at Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Texas yesterday surrounded by flat landscape then driving down onto the Canyon to be surrounded by gorgeous mountains. We took a six mile hike today and are so glad we did.....as you can see in the pictures it was great. Saw some wildlife...mule deer, foxes and some animal that we couldn't identify. We keep driving up to the top of the canyon to get phone service and call home to check on the weather. Bethany has gone to Knoxville and Rachel is at her house babysitting. She say the rain is pouring down and the sirens have gone off indicating a tornado warning. Being this far away is so hard during any serious situations.
