Amanda and I have been talking for sometime about getting a vacation home somewhere warm in the winter where she can train for triathlons and ride her bikes. So this weekend we decided Amarillo, TX was the perfect place. With the Palo Duro Canyon State park just southeast of the city and Caprock State Park beyond that it is much like Moab, UT with beautiful canyon scenery and miles of on and off-road riding.
Now the part for me! This will allow me to establish Caprocks Chase Base 1! A place where we can all stay without worrying about hotel costs or vacancies. A place that is in arguably the best severe weather hotspot in the world. We will now be within 6 hours of all the places on the map above. Besides being in the middle of the Texas panhandle, we have easy access to western Oklahoma, central Texas and eastern New Mexico all prime chase country. More details to follow as we start to take house hunting trips and hook up with realtors in the next month. The goal is to have a place by the end of Feb '08!
