6/11/08 - Palo Duro Canyon State Park

Last night in Ranger we saw the space station pass overhead. It was very bright – much brighter than Venus.

We left Ranger and went through Turkey, Texas – home of Bob Wills. We drove through Caprock Canyon State Park and arrived at Palo Duro Canyon where we will camp two nights. It was very hot and windy. The high temperature was 112 degrees (but it's a dry heat). There is no internet or cell phone service in the canyon.
