The posted speed limit along much of Route 287 through Texas was mostly 70 mph. Occasionally it dropped to 35 as we passed sleepy towns that had seen more prosperous days. At the end, we hit Amarillo and stopped for the night at the Amarillo Ranch RV Park on historic Route 66.
On the eve of Father's Day, Joan took Bob to the Big Texan Steak Ranch -- "Home of the 72 oz. Steak". The place was a garish tourist trap but the meal was superb.
