09/01/2023 - Day 78 Amarillo, TX Big Texan RV Ranch

It’s Friday and we’re in Amarillo, TX!

And…..6 weeks ago I broke my 5th metatarsal on my (bad) left foot. I had to Google it to see what that meant (LOL!). So I’ve been walking in a walking boot (thank God) and today I’m going to try walking in my regular shoes.  The best feeling shoes I have are the new Skecher Arch Fit flip flops. I haven’t been able to wear flip flops for years due to the nerve damage in my foot. And I MUST have a “heel and arch support” to take the pressure off my ankle. So, I found these and they are great! We found a Skechers Outlet here and would you believe I found a pair, in my size, on the clearance rack, for $40!!! Yeah!!! I haven’t been able to find this style anywhere (well Amazon had one color, but I can’t justify paying $70 for a pair of flip flops). 


We took a ride to the Cadillac Ranch. It’s a little free attraction on the side of the road. We pulled up and took some pics, but we didn’t walk out there. Here’s some pics:    
Then dinner at The Big Texan. Instead of the limo with the big horns, they have a van now. The fella said the a/c went out in the limo. Oh well. No, we didn’t do the 72oz steak challenge, but I did copy the rules if anyone wants to do it: 

72-ounce Steak Challenge Rules

1. Entire meal must be completed in one hour. If any of the meal is not consumed (swallowed)…YOU LOSE!

2. Before the time starts, you will be allowed to cut into the steak, and take one bite. If the steak tastes good and is cooked to your satisfaction, we will start the time upon your acceptable approval. The time will not stop, and the contest is on, so make SURE before you say “yes.”

3. Once you have started you are not allowed to stand up, leave your table, or have anyone else TOUCH the meal.

4. You will be disqualified if anyone assists you in cutting, preparing or eating of your meal. This is YOUR contest.

5. You don’t have to eat the fat, but we will judge this.

6. Should you become ill, the contest is over… YOU LOSE! (Please use the container provided as necessary.)

7. You are required to pay the full amount up front; if you win we will refund 100%.

8.You must sit at a table that we assign.

9. If you do not win the steak challenge, you are welcome to take the leftovers with you.

10. No consumption or sharing of the leftovers is allowed in the restaurant once the contest is over.

11. If you fail to complete the challenge, you must pay the full $72 dollars.

Instead I took some pics of inside:     It was a good day/night and the girls were happy to share some leftovers. 
Have a good one everybody.
