I’m in Midland so pretty much just like Lubbock here unfortunately, though we have had some rain this summer luckily.
We drove from Houston to Colorado at Christmas and then back two weeks later. Thought we would never get out of Texas. I was shocked at how much Lubbock has grown. Didn’t know we had a huge wind farm in that part of the state either.
Used to work in the grain industry and my area was from Gruver, Texas, through Happy, Texas and down to Lubbock. Not much out there but cows and wind. First tumbleweed I ever saw was bigger than my car.
We spend a lot of weekend time in the Hill Country and love it. There is so many different parts to Texas that most people never take the time to see. Friends from the east coast are really impressed with how good our roads are and the fact that we have quite a lot of trees in part of the state.
