After a week of driving and camping we are in Vail with David. We had quite an intense journey to get here, but made it without incident and saw a lot of country along the way. We crossed a small corner of Texas and realized what a huge state it really is. This could be a country unto itself! We saw small towns in the middle of nowhere that had nothing around them for miles and miles. We went around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and it almost seemed as busy as Atlanta. We saw Pikes Peak this morning and then drove up US 70 to get to Vail. Two days ago we had 97 degrees near Amarillo, Texas, yesterday it didn't get above 55. Today we are in Vail Pass and there is snow everywhere! Temperatures are moderating here and they are calling for 60 degree afternoons.
I am attaching a couple of pictures from our trip this past week.
Crossing the Mississippi delta on a bridge that spanned this bayou area for at least fifteen miles.
Canyon Top campground near Amarillo Texas. This area also had miles and miles of cotton fields.
A butte along the highway in Oklahoma.
Well over a hundred turbines in this wind farm. (Southern Colorado). I'll bet these are pretty safe in the event of an earthquake! Maybe the propellers would fall off?
