Drove though the length and Breadth of TX in ‘75 on I-10 when I took a year off to see the country....that drive through seem to be forever.... Nice little hills and valleys in West Texas.....pretty land.

I need to get back out west again before I croak...bucket list type of thing.....I need to see, once again TX and NM and AZ and well damn...a good chunck of the West again....and except for a trip to Vegas in ‘05 (a long weekend and no gambling...just some shows and then we took a trip to red rock canyon then a light plane flight to the souther rim of the Grand Canyon....where me and the missus took a bus up to the rim....)

So much to see in America....I wonder why people need to go to Europe?

Heck I’m almost 60 and I still haven’t seen all of Texas yet!

How true! To me natural beauty is preferable to man made things, and it is in such great abundance throughout this great nation. My travels have taken me to 49 of the 50 states and I regret not making it to Alaska.

Vaq - wifey and I took almost five weeks this past spring and jumped in the old Camry and toodled around the entire lower third of the U.S......7000 miles, as much as possible OFF the Interstates, visiting friends, family and just having fun doing offbeat stuff like Crater of Diamonds in Arkansas and "gemming" in North Carolina, and driving the beach in Daytona.

We still talk about it just about every day.
