Days Sixteen and Seventeen: Wed. and Thur., Sept 4 and 5

4

These were uneventful travel days.  Wednesday from Albuqueque, NM to Lubbock, TX.  Thursday from Lubbock, TX to Dallas.  It was hot, hot, hot and boring as all get out.  We always knew that the ride home would be this way; so we decided early that we would just drive 300 miles per day and rest in the evenings.  There was really nothing to see but desert and wide vistas with very few trees, no people, and no sight seeing opportunities.  Sorry.  That’s just the way it was.

Tomorrow should be different.  We are in a motel not far from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and the George W. Bush Library.  That is our destination tomorrow.  We have extended an invitation to all Bryan Alumni and all my Facebook friends to come see it with us at 9:30 in the morning.  It will be interesting to see if anyone shows up; I expect not.

There are no pix; you have seen enough big sky.  Just picture in your mind a vast horizon with nothing on it but scrub pine–a horizon on which you can see the curviture of the earth.

  1. Aw, but if you were to go south to Austin then you would see some great scenes…and then on to San Antonio and do the River Walk -btw, eat some BBQ…good stuff.
