Jus' Travelin' - 312 miles

Not quite so hot today as yesterday. It started out warm, but by lunchtime had cooled down somewhat. Also the wind changed direction and later in the day was a nice tailwind.
Nice way to travel across Texas.

The GPS continued to do her weird things though. We were to travel a fair bit on US70 but she decided that occasionally this road went the long way around and so took some back roads then later met up with 70 again. She did this a few times and it was with some trepidation that we followed the directions. She has been known to lead us, quite literally, up a garden path before.
However, these detours were actually quite pleasant and included a few corners - something in which Texas is a little wanting.

Not much else to report. Things are winding down for us and these last days are just getting us back to Albuquerque. We'll spend a couple of days getting the Big Red Motorcycle in tip top condition for some lucky buyer, then be on our way.

Charleen is still taking photos:

Camels!! We haven't seen camels for months.

Cotton - as far as the eye can see

A pink crane? We kept meeting this low-loader after our detours.

Lots of grains grown around here amongst the cotton.

Taste? Who needs it.

This defies description

Uh Oh - are we coming to the edge of the world?

The last state border for us - back home in New Mexico

And our overnight stop - apparently they knew we were coming
