When you drive to West Texas from any direction, this is what you see! It's called the "Plains" of Texas for a very obvious reason. I grew up in West Texas and I know for a fact you can see forever there!
@nicolecampbell Well in the middle of our summer this will be a drier, browner landscape. We've had good rains over the winter, and the plants have really responded!
I have to fave this for the memory of a road trip Ken and I made from Dallas to Tucson... It was the middle of the night, and I was driving as Ken dozed. He recalls it that he woke and I was driving very slowly. The gas tank was on empty, so I didn't want to waste a drop. I could see lights in the distance, so I knew were were approaching a town...but (before the age of "gadgets") when we got there, it had been 50 miles, and we cruised into a filling station on fumes!
@miata2u@taffy@gaylewood@happysnaps@gigiflower@pdulis@onewing Thank you for your comments, we have all been on a road like this if we've traveled much at all, I just turn the radio up and the air conditioner down and drive, drive, drive! Smile. @Weezilou Oh boy, that is a great memory, we all made trips like that when we were young, I do remember those days, they were actually pretty great days! Smile.
Love this kind of geography, I do (except for the tornados that go with it!). I imagine the sunsets here are stunning. And yes, on a cool day, the window would be down, but on a warm day, air conditioner on and singing with my CDs all the way to my destination!
@olivetreeann Growing up in West Texas meant tornado drills every Friday at school in the spring.i was so disappointed this trip that the skies were cloudy so no great sunsets. I'll be there again in two weeks, maybe I'll get lucky!
