Here again for the Panhandle Kennel Club Shows. Venue is…read moreeasily accessible from South entrance as well as the North and I believe the West too. Small show, really nice venue. Wonderful club hosts, Stewards, and pleasant exhibitors. Plenty of room in unreserved grooming but reserving a spot keeps you closer to the rings so that's something consider. RV parking in offered for a fee across road from North entrance. They provide space for vendors and they have an open concession area operating during show hours.

Had a good time at the card show, I'm sure other events are cool as well. Easy parking tooread more

Meet the Second Amendment Cowboy: part roadside legend, part fiberglass icon, and all swagger. He stands tall beside a trio of jacked-up Cadillacs, each one decked out with mannequin passengers like Elvis, Willie Nelson, and John Wayne on their way to a honky-tonk showdown. It's wild, weird, and absolutely wonderful. I couldn't help but laugh -- it's one of those places that feels like Texas decided to bottle its personality and plant it in the dirt for everyone to gawk at. I snapped a photo, gave the cowboy a nod, and drove off feeling like I'd just shaken hands with roadside Americana at its most bold.

"For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious…read morethan if it were made of gold and silver." -Martin Luther (1483-1546) Even at night, I'm still going to stop for a historical marker. This one was interesting. It is located about 5 miles west of Panhandle towards Amarillo. There is a sign about one mile ahead of it indicating that the marker is ahead and there is a small pullout area so that you can be off the roadway. The main central marker reads, "Thomas Cree Homsite. After serving as a teamster in the Civil War (1861-65), Thadium (Thomas) B. Cree worked for the Union Pacific Railroad. In 1888 he and his wife came to the High Plains. They acquired this land and, with no trees for lumber, they built a dugout home. Cree traveled 35 miles at his wife's request to find a sapling and planted it here. He watered it from a nearby lake that he dug from a buffalo wallow. The tree never grew but lived many years despite blizzard, heat, and drought. Gov. John Connally dedicated an historical marker in 1963 to the first tree in the Panhandle." The second marker reads, "The 33rd Anniversary National Convention, Men's Garden Clubs of America, meeting at Amarillo, June 14-17, 1965, formally recognized and paid tribute to the significance of Thomas Cree's Little Tee and to the memory of this heroic early gardenere of these high plains." The third marker reads, "First Tree Texas High Plains. Set front dugout home by Thomas Cree,, 1888. Good luck symbol of settlers through drought, blizzard and heat." Beneath that, a fourth marker, "Cree's Bois D'Arc tree died in the 1970's. County residents planted a new tree here in 1990 as a memorial to the area's early pioneers."

As you're leaving Amarillo proper and heading into the Panhandle Infinity, you'll see this Mesa off in the distance on Tascosa Road. Off-white panels have been symmetrically lined up across the upper portion of the mesa - and if the background sky is the same color, the top of the mesa will appear to be levitating. But even if Mother Nature isn't playing along (and the sky was too blue during my visit - as if that's a bad thing) you can still appreciate it. Ironically this is probably the artwork that is the easiest of all the Stanley Marsh 3 installations to grasp, but it's location is so obscure that it just sits/floats there for those of us pilgrims fortunate enough to discover.
