Day 25, Raton, NM, to Abilene, TX



It was cool this morning as we left Raton after a full breakfast. It warmed quickly and was hot by the time we reached Clayton, NM. We then crossed into Texas and continued to Amarillo under sunny skies. We stopped for lunch in Amarillo and then took off for Lubbock. There is a four letter word which is often used in describing the high plains area around Lubbock ---- flat. We stopped at a new rest area on I-27 which included a tornado shelter. Arriving in Lubbock about 3:30, we decided to drive on to Abilene.
