Wynn WagenseilI have read that Texas leads the nation in wind power generation, so there's some evidence of that. Quite interesting.

I-40, blowing wind and massive windmills are the theme for this stretch of the ride.

Many lonely farm buildings and grain elevators dot the Texas landscape.

We ended our ride at a private campground 60 miles east of Amarillo. Should be good sleeping weather tonight; we’ll roll into Oklahoma on Thursday.
