Drive-drive-drive...New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma!

We said: Left New Mexico fairly early and headed for the Texas border. Got off the highway to try and cross the border off the highway-never saw a Welcome to Texas sign so thought we'd find one on the way into OK. Made our way across Texas (the skinny part) and into OK and saw the Texas sign on the opposite side of the highway-the exits are too far apart for us to try and go back for the photo-never saw the Welcome to OK sign either. Oh well-we will be missing a few for our collection-maybe we'll have to do some photo shop work. When we left New Mexico there was not a cloud in the sky-as we made our way through Texas it got cloudy and we realized it had been a long time since we had seen rain. The sky changed dramatically and we began to ride through fog and mist. We saw a sign for a rest area on the highway that not only had restrooms and vending machines but a Tornado Shelter. It was windy, but not that windy than goodness. We are in Henryetta, OK tonite and will make our way to Hot Springs, Arkansas-one of the last planned stops on the trip. As we are not real good car travelers the 550+ miles today was terrific.

In TX it was back to big open farmlands and these huge grain processing plants.

The fog got THICK-you could see the blades of the wind turbine when they got to the bottom of the spin.

Enjoy the spin!
