Don’t bother. There is nothing in Amarillo, and the area surrounding is so flat you can see England from there.

Hmm.

I’d take I-35 North to Oklahoma City then 40 West.
It would be easier to fly directly into Amarillo but if you can’t do that then I’d go for either Oklahoma City or Albuquerque. Then it’s a straight shot on 40 either West or East respectively.

‘… I wanna go home with the Amarillos…’ :smiley:

5

Take E1240 Road out to Texola, and just keep going till you hit I-40, and just keep going west. You’ll wind up in Amarillo.

6

Amen.

7

You mean sweet Marie got fed up with waiting? :open_mouth:

Martin is being cryptic again, he is really concerned about Amar who is il and feeling lo. And is really going to visit him but is throwing us off the track.

“Amarillo” is Spanish for “yellow,” no? How’d it get its name?

13

It was, in fact, named for a Spanish word meaning yellow. You are correct.

14

Supposedly for the color of the soil.

15

That’s strange.

16

Are we talking about the Amarillo Roadhouse in Schereville, Indiana?

:confused:

17

I don’t think so.

18

Dude, cause it’s really yellow there!! :stuck_out_tongue: I live about 120-130 miles south of Amarillo and it’s true, there’s nothing here (or there, or whatever). We can actually see Winnepeg from here.

The panhandle of Texas is flat flat flat. Not having lived in Amarillo, but having driven through many times, I can’t make a judgement about the town. However, I am guessing that there are a lot of good people there. If you were born there, it would feel like home, I am sure. That is true for anywhere on this planet.

If you happen to be driving through that part of Texas, stop for awhile in Palo Dura Canyon. Yippy cayo caya.
