Ya see, it's like this....when I was in Alpine yesterday morning, the wind was blow'n. Not out of the west like the weather station said, but out of the south. So I hurried up and got ahead of the winds....what was good. When I arrived in Langtry, there was no wind and it was hot (99 1/2 degs). But that didn't last long. Here come that wind I passed up just a few hours before.....and it blow'n a good'un. It blowed all night long and it's still blow'n today. Ain't no way old Billy Bob gonna put "da house" on the highway.
Plan for today was to unhook "that jeep" and go do some exploring. Got pics of the Pecos River to take ya know. Did I mention that I've been try'n to get pics of the river since 2002 and have crossed it at least 15 times in 8 years??? If I have to stay here for a week, I'm gonna get those pics....do or die. Oh crap, don't say that.
Holy cows, it's 6:15 and dinner ain't ready. Look'n like Spam and fried taters tonight.
Carry a couple of big ole rocks in your pockets so you don't blow way BB!! And in case you get lazy and don't go see that big ole bridge, here's a picture of it. :-)

ever been to redbluff resivior? its north of pecos about 20 minutes. nice lake and a real small cominuty . The land is cheap and the road paved to the boat launch. if you are close its worth a looksee.
ReplyDeleteThe road from Langtry down to the river passes several historic markers that are neat to read. The old middle of the river fight location is visible down there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics,, Jersey Lilly hasn't changed since I last saw it, looks like. Hell, that was 20 years ago, more or less.
ReplyDeleteThought of your "black cloud" last night as the rain and the wind started up.
ReplyDeleteKnew you would probably have to spend a couple of days down there but there are lots of things to see.
Loved that picture of the pet rest area :-)
Great pictures, could even read the sign in pool hall. We got to Juction yesterday and will probably just go on over to Bastrop State Park for tomorrow night. It is only a couple of hours or so from home.
ReplyDeleteGot to get back to Terlinqua soon.
Hay BB, where are you? Haven't heard a thing from you for awhile. When you went to take the picture of the river, did you fall in???
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the grandkids when you get there.
