Driving across the Llano Estacado towards the edge of the Caprock Escarpment, we watched this storm mounting in the West. Singing Red Steagall’s song, “On a Fenceline North of Estellene”, about the tumbleweeds with poems tied to them by blue string.
At the tiny town of Happy, Texas, we stopped at a charming wayside coffee shop for warm brew and good cheer. A prolonged conversation about Texas history, the scenic Palo Duro Canyon, and childhood memories of the Caprock saved us from driving into a hailstorm in Tucumcari, NM!
What a “Happy” experience!
