I used to live in Borger about 50 miles north of Amarillo. Rode Canadian river a lot then (almost 10 years ago now). One thing that I really liked about living in the panhandle was that I could get to some other pretty cool places for a long weekend (Sante fe, cloudcroft, Colorado Springs, denver, etc). I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
