Wide, wind, and Waco!

We are on our way to Waco, taking two days.  The first two thirds of the drive today was WIDE OPEN SPACES.  Oh my, who knew how many miles of nothing but "freckled" plains we would see.  The freckles are the short scrubby bush/trees that grow all over like freckles!  And then there are the empty plains with no trees, no animals, no houses - nothing to look at.  That makes Hilda's driver sleepy...







The skies have been beautiful though.

I missed the photo I wanted to take (driver is not the only one who gets sleepy) in Lubbock - yep, wanted that happiness shot of Lubbock in the rear view mirror!

More nothingness in small Texas towns - lots of empty grain silos and warehouses - and then we came upon miles and miles and more miles of wind turbines.  The first hundred were atop a mesa - a surprising sight after so much flat land.  






We are now going to our campground in Sweetwater Texas.
