We headed out of New Mexico. I think I may have worn Clint out with all the hiking the last few days. He's happy to just drive a while. After spending the day at the City of Rocks and rockhunting in the forest, Clint bypassed Rockhound Park for this trip and any other sightseeing expeditions for New Mexico.
We stopped at the Texas Travelers Center just past the border and left with three bags of brochures. I'm more appreciative of the size of Texas after driving through Arizona and New Mexico. I feel like Texas is at least 3 separate states if not five. And we drive for hours now with little landscape change.
Clint stopped at El Paso Saddlebag Blanket to see if they're viable as a wholesaler. They have nice items mostly blankets, saddles and pottery. Unfortunately he's unable to carry the items he was interested in due to lack of room in the RV. But it is another fun place to take the grandkids. Inexpensive and fun to look around.
We opted not to go to Big Bend. After so much desert for the past month, we're wanting to see green. Due to the time of year and lack of rain, no flowers blooming. I didn't see any photos that called me....until we had passed the last turnoff. Now I think it would be fun to go rafting through the canyons. Maybe another trip or on the way home.
We arrived in Pecos to spend the night at a Truck Stop. I watched a real cowboy herding his cows for dinner. Kinda cool! It is very warm here. It hit 90! I spent the evening reading up on possible sites to stop at on the way to Dallas. With no internet or TV, Clint and I chatted and read. Very nice.
