MERUS ADVENTURE PARK
Upon arriving at Merus Adventure Park , we knew we were part of an amazing group ! Dirk , with Merus Adventure Park , greeted us and escorted us to the camping area , which overlooked Palo Duro Canyon . Yes , Texas has a canyon and it is beautiful ! The members that had previously arrived were very friendly and came over to introduce themselves right away ! The rest of Thursday was spent getting acquainted with our new friends and settling into camp .
Friday morning everyone gathered at the Rec Center for coffee that Dirk and his wife , Kristen provided . Several new members had come in after dark and all were eagerly getting to know one another . It ’ s hard to say who was having more fun , the members or their dogs ! After coffee , several of us visited the other trailers to see how our new friends camped .
Dirk rounded everyone up later in the morning for a driving tour of the canyon . The first stop was at an overlook where it was so quiet you felt as if you were looking into another world as you gazed down into the canyon . After getting pictures from the edge , we drove down a fun 19 % grade to experience the canyon from within . Everyone did great going down and coming back up the hill , impressive , considering most of the drivers were in full-size pickups !
