Big Spring, Tx

Postby sharon » Sun Aug 29, 2010 8:46 am

Spent the nite here in Big Spring, Tx. Nice little Passport cg, easy in, easy out and site long enough to leave the tow hooked up. Not to bad a drive in, left Las Cruces at 0830 as per instructions from one of the guys there to miss the traffic thru El Paso. Worked like a charm and drove pretty much straight thru w/o a lot of traffic. Hit wind again after the 20/10 split but I figured that, it's pretty flat thru there. Saw sand dunes, too! Well not exactly sand dunes, sand hills. Monahans Sand Hills state park. A lot of vegetation covered them, but sand it was! I find 'em everywhere! Where was the camera, you ask? Why, over on the co-pilot seat, of course! Where in the heck else would it be? :lol: Tried to get Chewy to get it for me, but she wasn't having any part of being a "go-fer". Saw a sign coming in that Big Spring has the oldest Harley dealer in Texas, but just didn't feel like un-hooking to go see it. I'm still pretty bummed that I left so late and don't have time to spend more time exploring. Off to Ft. Worth this morning, 2 days there visiting with friends. Last time I was there I was able to pick up their wifi signal in Hope, so we'll see.

@Carold....nope, no new Harley, just a shirt, but they didn't have anything I couldn't live w/o on the sale racks, and I already have a couple from there, so just came home with a $5 headband.

Travel safely, my friends. I need to take a lesson from Liz I guess, and take more pictures, but so far on this trip it's just been travel. But I'm enjoying being back on the road. I always forget how much I enjoy driving Hope until I do it again.

Everyone laughs at me cause I always plan my trip around going thru El Paso on a Sunday. I really HATE driving thru El Paso for some reason. Liz has a real advantage in taking pictures - her rig is small enough she can pull over easily. I'm about 50' complete with tow.

Sharon, I went thru El Paso last Monday morning. Left Anthony, TX at 6:09 a.m. and came out the other side of EP at 6:44. What a sweet drive thru. Never have had it that good, even when I used to drive just a car thru. Always tried to miss stopping at Big Spring because everything was off the highway. Always kept going.....Glad you had a good cg. Good luck going thru the DFW metroplex. I'll be going thru next Tuesday, but haven't decided on whether to take my rig or leave it in storage for a week and just drive. Safe driving and have fun!

Be careful and enjoy the sights. It's dangerous to take photos while traveling anyway. wink*wink
