Day 24. Pampa to Higgins TX. 75 miles

   I started early, but so did a lot of oil workers. There was a steady stream of trucks needing to be somewhere by 6.
   It was a pretty ride today. A lot of hills, but they made for a scenic trip. At one point I did have to take over traffic control on the highway. It looked like two of the cattle in the field were headed for the road. Then I realized they were deer. One barely made it across just ahead of me and the other turned around. I flagged the cars coming behind me and they slowed averting the second. :)
   Somehow I missed the danger on the cliff. Larry got to see the dinosaur eating his lunch.
   I went through three small towns . We are staying in the fourth. Higgins, a whopping 397 people. We have a luxury 2 bedroom suite right next to the one Cafe in town. When we got in town, the manager had told Larry to take room 1 because he would be in the next town when we arrived. It was no problem, the door was ajar and the key on the frig. Easy check in!
   It's off to Oklahoma tomorrow. Should be there by sunup!
