It will be interesting to see how Big Bend looks this time of year…though this will be a short trip, I hope to get some photo opportunities …and I look forward   to meeting and spending time with Barney and getting his keen insights on camping stuff and the overall life-style….I do envy wanderlust lifestyle ….

So tomorrow  it is…about 225 miles on US-90 west ….a great road, through small towns that etch out a living and are extremely proud of their heritage…the backbone of this great nation…..I think my next assignment will be spending several months traveling and seeing all the small towns of Texas…why they exist, what makes them tick, their history, how they have survived, and of course their football program..especially those towns that play “6 man football”…any suggestions will be appreciated…

  1. I will be trying to get SightSeer back into great riding shape tomorrow as you make your way across Texas. A bike is a good way to quickly get to the good pictures area in many locations.
