Eric & I Travel Southwest to Uvalde, Texas

 



Starting out on Interstate 10 East...











 

Clouds creep over the mountains.






Traffic has slowed to a crawl.












Eric enjoys a sandwich & a
Coke in stopped traffic.






 
We watch an SUV being
winched onto a tow truck.









This is an eerie looking sky.









I wonder what the plastic wrap is
 covering on this tractor trailer.










Welcome to New Mexico
Land of Enchantment




    


Eric & I watch a rainbow develop





Welcome to Las Cruces

Explore, Experience, Discover

This picture says it all...
Our 20 year old Starter died. 







A HUGE thank you goes out to JCP Roadside Diesel/Auto Repair and Tire Service.  Jose and his assistant diagnosed the bad Starter, found a replacement nearby, and replaced it in five and a half hours.  
 
Eric & I return to Interstate 10 East at 4:30 pm to drive Southeast to Uvalde.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Texas depends on Wind Turbines
 
 
 







The conical mountain is
so different from the 
surrounding terrain.
















 
We left Interstate 10 East for US 277 South at Sonora.
 
 
 
 
 
The last leg of our drive is on








Our windshield has many splattered bugs on it today.






Straight Texas roads get
steep & curvy....






















It's about 7:40 pm & the sun
is behind us.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Locals take a Sunset Soak
in the Nueces River,
around 8:10 pm.






The pictures I took at 8:20 pm, when Eric and I arrived at Chalk Bluff RV Resort were terrible!
 
Eric took this picture today... The sun is sooo bright here.
