fencerm2 | Crossing Texas

Wow does it take forever to cross the great state of Texas! So I left Roswell this morning, and headed out across Route 380. One lane, 65mph for hours. Somewhere along this route I crossed into Texas.

Expected to see this. Oil wells:

What did surprise me about this was just how many I saw while still in NM.

Driving along Route 84 I believe, still not on an interstate, in TX, but approaching I-20. More cool wind farms:

On I-20, and I wish I recalled which Air Force base was next to the highway. But I saw this plane, the second in 5 minutes, cross over ahead of me:

For those of you less familiar with your modern US Air Force planes, that is a B-1 bomber.

Nearly into LA, and the sun is setting. The clouds looked very cool:

Soon I was in Louisiana. I think crossing Texas took me like 9 hours or so. Last exit in TX was over 600, and they do correspond with the mile markers.

Chilling in my hotel now. Pondering gambling in the attached casino, but likely won't. On to Atlanta tomorrow.
