Day 161

The Stars At Night Are Big And Bright, Deep In The Heart Of Texas

The drive from Roswell, New Mexico to Fort Stanton, Texas was pretty much what you'd think. It was so flat and desolate. There were areas we passed that looked like junk yards along the side of the road. Mobile homes left to rot in the sun and cars or appliances or both. It's very sad. There were also a few oil wells and a couple fields of cotton. The cotton was never in a place where we could stop so I could get out and get a good look and maybe a photo or two. I've never seen a cotton field in actuality. Hopefully I'll see more. We traveled almost due south, then just a bit east. We got to a nice little campground, the guy we pulled up next to said we better be quiet or there' be trouble. I told him we had a problem then, cause I'm never quiet!!!! Thank God he was kidding, cause I wasn't. This will be a nice place I think. The area isn't much, but really this is just a place to relax till we get to San Antonio. 

We made a run to Walmart. I wanted to make sure it was a Super Center so I placed a call. I asked the woman that answered if the store was a super center? Her reply, "Sorta". I waited, and waited, then I had to ask. "Sorta?" Then she explained. REALLY? Ya wouldn't offer up that information to begin with. Come on!!! Some people really need to hear how to conduct themselves in the real world. Oh well, my life is too precious to school people on common sense. Sorry!!!! 

You all have a good evening and I will be in touch tomorrow. The weather here tomorrow is going to be iffy at best so we might just have a forced day of rest. That wouldn't be too bad. All this fun is starting to catch up with us.
