The Librarian is Out

Like any good American blogger, I'll be offline for the Thanksgiving holidays. Instead of gathering around the table with family, though, I'll be eating Turkey Spam and cranberry sauce out of cans while huddled around a camping stove with Pablo the Blogless. He's flying into Lubbock tomorrow, where I'll pick him up and continue on to Guadalupe Mountains National Park, one of the least visited in the NPS. It's in a remote, dusty corner of west Texas, near the least populated county in the United State (Loving County, pop. 70). We'll hike the highest peak in Texas--which, at 8,700 feet, isn't in the same league as Wheeler, but it's supposed to provide an excellent view all the same.

On Sunday evening a high school friend who's making a western tour before entering graduate school will be passing through the area, so I'll spend Monday showing him around the Amarillo area. See y'all on Tuesday, then.
