The weather in Texas!

On any trip cross-country by car or truck one thing for sure that you learn is that Texas is a big state! We have had rainy weather since leaving Sulfur, LA and on into San Antonio, Texas last night. We replenished our wardrobe at Wal-Mart (underwear and T-shirts, didn’t pack enough for a seven-day trip!). Had a great Mexican meal and then retired to Hampton Inn for the night.

This morning we got on the road in good time and crossed over into snow-covered territory about 100 miles outside of beautiful Ft. Stockton, Texas, where, surprisingly enough, there is another Hampton Inn. This is our fifth night in this Hilton-owned franchise and we are enjoying them very much. They are nearly all pretty new, so that is a plus, and they serve a passable breakfast. Here are Loretta and Ben in the truck parking area outside the IHOP in Ft. Stockton.
