Pecos, Texas

We had an easy, although seven hours long drive from Hondo to Pecos, Texas. We decided to take I-10 instead of Highway 90 because it took half the time.

As if 75 MPH speed limits aren't bad enough in Texas everything is bigger...so here the speed limit is 80 MPH. I wonder how much lower your mileage goes done at 80 MPH.
In these economic times people have to use ingenious ways to run a business. This fellow converted a school bus into Roadrunner Fabrics and parked on the side of the road by the railroad tracks.

Along the way we had a few Kodak moments to share. At our first rest stop Lesle found this butterfly on the road with a split wing. We placed it by a bush when we left.
We saw a lot of windmill farms in this area of western Texas as you can see in the background. That's Bill and Lesle's rig ahead of us.

Here is a funny looking hill - Lesle called it a boob hill...well it looks like it from a distance.

Escapees' Tra Park is not much, God bless them. It IS just a parking lot on the side of the street out in the open. They have metal-topped covered patios with a picnic table between every two spaces. Those are really needed with the heat in this part of Texas. The club house is an old single-wide trailer with 4 chairs, kitchen area and one of the back bedrooms is set up for puzzles and games. But the $14.50 daily fee comes with electricity and there isn't any taxes

We ate at a swell Mexican restaurant.....but that's another posting. Remember, you are loved.
