Witcheta Wranglers

We had originally planned to go to Amarillo to see the Dilla’s play a game, but they weren’t home, wo we looked to see who else might be around and not too far out of our way. The Witchta Wranglers fit the bill. The were only two and and half hours away and they were home against the Midland RockHounds.

The camping wasn't great outside Witcheta, but it wasn't expensive and most importantly, it was drama free! The site didn't have much privacy, we felt like we were camping in someone's front yard, but we were able to wash and dry all of our wet things from OK City.

The game was a blast, it was at a wierd time, 4:00p, we were sitting in the campsite listening to the Cardinals/Astros game, a crazy game with lots of back and forth scoring and homeruns, we were listening to the game on the car radio because we were out of batteries for our boom box. We forgot to start the car and as we jumped into the car to rush to the game, I turned the key and heard 'click, click, click'. We had killed the Car battery. Luckily, a guy checking into the campsite right at that moment gave us a jump start and we were off to the game, and were in the park if not in our seats for the first pitch.

The Wranglers lost, but it was still a fun game. There is a chicken on the scoreboard, and every time the opposing team fails to score, it travels across the scoreboard to lay an egg in thier score. The concessionairs were also great lots of fun jokes and interesting sales calls "Ice Cold Beer and Peanuts - the baseball Happy meal, free joke included" and it was true, we bought a beer and some cajun peanuts (whew! spicy) and got a free joke!

After a break from the drama (and the weather, we're off to New Mexico. No Baseball for a little while, but lots of nature and a state that neither Pete or I have ever been to.
