I like your handle. My sister-in-law and family lived in Dalhart for many years.
Isn’t that true....everyone has driven those long panhandle stretches
As a long haired southern Boy with no AC in the early 70s we’d leave lat dusk from Jackson Mississippi and be eating breakfast somewhere between Dumas Dalhart or Texline or even Clayton NM
Many places has great Tex mex breakfasts ...a shamrock near Texline I remember or a cafe in Clayton by the Best Western
By that afternoon we were camping near Trinidad or Walsenberg and Blanca Peak
Man I loved this camping and climbing trips then to escape the heat of Dixie
In Texline it was still yes ma’am and sweet tea
Clayton ....it was a new world ....I had kin in Santa Fe
Arizona was oddly more southern. Than New Mexico back then
Yes I love dumas name....hell im tempted to head out......wish I could.....Amarillo by morning ...lol....it’s forty all the way from Nashville
I’m only 62 but of my compadres from then it’s only two of us left
