Texas - I-10 A LONG LONG ROAD

We spent yesterday driving from Fredericksburg, TX to Ft. Stockton, TX - 200 miles +. Today we left Ft. Stockton, TX and arrived in Deming, NM - close to 300 miles. Just a bit over our daily limit, but we were ready to get out of Texas. I took some pictures of the scenery along the 500 miles of long, mostly straight highway. We did reach an elevation of around 4500 ft, but most of the climb is so gradual that you don't really realize that your going up. Anyway, I know that a lot of you looking at this have driven I-10 and are familiar with this area, but for those who have not, here are some of the more interesting photo's I took.

In the first group you will notice how cloudy the skies were - that was Saturday, a cool drizzly day....

Miles and miles of I-10....



Mesa, lots of them out in west Texas....



One of the largest windmill farms that we have seen - went on for miles and miles....



More windmills and a drill going after that "Texas Tea"....



Today, Sunday, was a bright beautiful day although it was cool - high in the low 50's...

Good ole I-10 it just goes on and on and on and..........



One of many hills.....



Lots, and lots of wide open spaces out here......



We have arrived, but it ain't no warmer!......



These mountains were so beautiful, the colors, it looked like a painted backdrop. The picture doesn't do them justice.....



Yes, that is some of that white stuff called SNOW. We missed it by two day, thank goodness!



Tomorrow we are going to see the cliff dwellers. Until next time......
