There is a reason we picked this particular spot to stop along the way west, it is home to Donna’s older brother Steve. We had dinner with him at the local Cracker Barrel. The last time we saw him was when we were headed to Lake Tahoe for a niece’s wedding back in 2018.
We started the day in Killeen and ended in Odessa. The title of todays posts went from 35,000 Black-eyed Susans along the roadsides of the hill country to 35,000 wind turbines the further west we went and ended it up what you see above when we entered the Permian Basin. There were no real Roadside America goals today, but we did stumble on a couple of things right here in Odessa. An even bigger long horn skull than we found in Albany, TX a week ago on our way east and a Stonehenge replica on the campus of the University of Texas Permian Basin.
About 100 miles west of Killeen the Mini eased past the 35,000 mile mark.
