Some pictures along the way...

We all have gotten weather shock this summer. In trying to be in a warmer climate we have only run into COLD, WINDY, SNOWY & ICY, ICKY Trip to Ozona:

The trip was more of the same…COLD, WINDY, and not very comforting… weather…

Sure does make for some very interesting photos…This one I like really well…it shows the spires of the Yucca Cactus being fully frosted with a complete coating of ICE… There were so many beautiful sights that I took hundreds of pictures...these are just a few to give you the idea...








All along the road was ICE; you can even see the icicles on the sign boards…












And…yes there was ice on the bridges…as you can plainly see in this photo…Made for kind-of a freaky ride…But as we always say, this is an adventure, and we’re retired so what does it matter???

















Here you see, we are back amongst the beautifully carved plateaus and the stark desert…and the beautiful, though sparse, Wild Flowers…

We really are seeing an awful lot of this country of ours…I think, by the time we return to Sacramento, we will have been in about 20 states…and that will be from March the 16th – June, about the 10th…almost 3 months…


Well as I said there was a Chuey's Eatery...well here are a couple of pictures of us outside...First Gene ans Shirley and then Mike and Me...It was so cold that we were about to freeze to death...
This is in
Van Horn, Texas











These pictures are to show you that West Texas is just like Arizona ands New Mexico...desert...,just a few more hills and mountain formations...













This is a picture of the Limestone lines in the hillsides that they dug out to put the highways in...some of the lines are so straight that you would think it was drawn by an artist...














This is Ozona...Nice Entrance Plaque...


Some beautiful buildings...there were lots of pretty "old" homes here too...very small town...great big school sports team town...the signs were everywhere...they had 2 large buses for their girls and boys teams...
















But our parking place sucked...big time...we had electric, water and sewer...but no CTV, and very poor Internet signal...Oh Well...such is the life of a "Full-Timer"...

I am gonna go ahead and publish this section of my blog...they maybe a little outta whack...but you will get the jest of it...Traveling with Gene and Shirley was kick . It is nice not to be out there alone and to make such great friends...
