It was windy morning when we left Albuquerque on Tuesday, headed east and then southeast towards Texas. We also encountered a bit of blowing snow as we crossed the east slope of the Sandia Mountains, but the drive was mostly uneventful.
We crossed the state line into Texas and were surprised by the amount of cotton that had been planted there. We lost an hour as we crossed into the Central Time Zone, but we still made it to Lubbock by 5:00 pm.

| Welcome to Texas |
Wednesday was another windy day as we made our way southeast through Texas. We continued to see lots of fields of cotton that had recently been baled. Another surprising sight – lots of wind turbines. Cotton and wind turbines – both were totally unexpected. Another thing I noticed was the number of historical markers. We didn’t stop at any, but there must have been at least several dozen.
We finally arrived in Fredericksburg and were completely surprised by the number of tourists in town. We’ll probably wait to walk the streets until sometime next year when most of these folks have gone home. The weather was another surprise – record high temperatures – 80˚.
It was a long drive from Colorado, but we made it just fine.
