We have made it to Texas. The first 3 1/2 days it seemed as if we were driving on a treadmill. Farms and flat land. The only difference from Saskatchewan were the dead critters left on the road. They don't clean up road kill. They just wait until it is mashed to nothing. Ashes to ashes.
About the same time that the scenery became a little more rolling, the temperature began to get a little better. Today it was in the high 70s. It seems a bit weird for Nov 1. The weather has been clear and sunny except for one day when it was cloudy but not raining. We have had a lot of wind though so Dalton has had to do more active driving than is usual for us as we rolll down tthe road.
Dalton says he could never be a trucker. He is tired of days of long driving so from now on, we are going to take it easy. We are now between Dallas and Fort Worth at a place called Arlington and plan to stay here a couple of days. The park is very nice and we are very comfortable. It is a related park to the Travellers' World park in San Antonio recommended by our friends Don and Donna.
The terrain has become drier and rougher. Texas cattle country. You can almost see John Wayne coming over the hill. They are experiencing a drought here so water restrictions seem to be in place in all the communitites around Dallas-Fort Worth.
Next we plan to go to San Antonio for a few days. We will probably stay there for three days before we head to Brownsville to meet up with our RV friends from Saskatoon.
