We returned earlier this week from our first camping trip in our new Bighorn 3500. We were a little nervous having 37 feet behind us but she (we have named her "the Big' un") did beautiful towing and backing into sites. We were just real comfy on our 10 day trip to Caprock Canyon and Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle. Anyone been to Palo Duro Canyon? That is, anyone besides Terry H and Carol who we met at the campground. Imagine how surprised we were to round the corner and see an identical Bighorn 3500 sitting there! We thought for sure it would be a while before we came across another, but there sat #400 a few sites down from our #366! It was sure good to visit with you guys and hope to see you again on the road. If you haven't been to Palo Duro Canyon, and y'all should go if you are in the Amarillo area, there is a 2 mile, 10% grade down into the park at the bottom of the canyon and naturally you have to pull back up that grade when leaving. Our 2002 Ford F250 turbo deisel pulled that Bighorn out of there like a champ. Both Palo Duro and Caprock Canyon (93 miles SE) offered really nice campsites and some of the most dramatic scenery we have seen in quite a while. PD is the second largest canyon in the U.S. We all know what the biggest is! We will attach pictures when we learn how to upload to the forum.
