Interstate -10 (aka Endless Texas)

Hobie sent us out the door at 7:45 this morning with egg sandwiches in hand for breakfast.  What a great visit we had!

From Tucson, it was only a couple hours to the Arizona-New Mexico border, then a couple more to El Paso, Texas.

The rest of the day was Texas, Texas and more Texas . . . and we’re still only halfway across the state despite having covered 700 miles, a new record.  Picture broad expanses of open land, all brown this time of year, distant brown mountains with no trees, some windmills and oil and gas rigs, and sometimes cows.  Driving 80 mph, (which was the speed limit) so making good time, we saw zillions of these same things over and over all day long.

Tonight we’re at a motel in Ozona where we had dinner at an adjacent “trucker’s café” (interessssting) which is 25o miles in every direction from any city you’ve ever heard of, such as El Paso or San Antonio.
