Well, we are not actually “lost” mainly because I’m not the one in charge of driving but we are getting lost like leaving and getting out of here. We are getting lost in our thoughts, lost in nature and wrapped up in our time with each other without any of the distractions of everyday life.
ROAD TRIP LIFE HACK:
Before we left Josh, Jenna and I each picked 20 songs each and put them on a Spotify summer playlist. We shuffled the playlist and it was fun to see who’s song was going to play next. You were guaranteed to know the words of at least every 3rd song.:-) We had quite the variety….from Metalica to Snoop Dogg to Teen Beach Movie.
Our first stop was Palo Duro Canyon in Amarillo, Texas. It’s amazing to me that places like this are just a few hours from my driveway. It was beautiful BUT HOT. Seriously, finding shade was like almost nonexistent. We actually waited until later in the evening before we did any hikes.
We enjoyed dinner at a beautiful pavilion patio that is used to major events and parties. We snuck up with our hot dogs and all the fixins’ and enjoyed the beautiful view in true “wedding crasher” style.
The lighthouse hike was six miles round trip and wasn’t difficult. It was fun and scenic. We saw turkeys, horned frogs, deer and we heard coyotes. Here is the game changer though…..we saw 3 tarantulas. YES, TA-RANT-U-LAS!!! Like Home Alone tarantulas….like Stephen King your worst nightmare.
So, basically after seeing these on the trail…..I’m done. Just no. I don’t do spiders…..especially ones as big as my dog. So I’d recommend this trail to those of you that can handle that. Otherwise, take a hike somewhere else. ;-)
