Central Texas

The scenery changed a lot yesterday from east Texas to the beginning of west Texas.  Between Corsicana and Waco, every dwelling had their own personal junk yard.  We were dumbfounded.  It's as if no one throws anything away, or sells it for scrap.

West of Waco, we entered "the West".  It's virtually all scrub land ranches.

As we were motoring along TX 29, a few miles east of the town of Llano, there was a sign warning of pedestrians.  Bear in mind, this is the middle of nowhere.  Then there was a little turnout with people with spotting scopes and cameras.   They were observing a bald eagle nest.  Very neat.

The first photo is just with my camera.  The second is my camera shooting through a guy's spotting scope.

Headin' down the highway, from Mason to Junction.  I love driving these kind of roads.

Speed limits are usually 70 on roads like this.  75 on the interstates.  We go 60-65.   We bucked a strong Texas wind all day, and dipped just under 10 MPG.
