Day 261 (Ft Stockton, TX)

On the way here we crossed the Rio Grande. It was very small at this end. Lots of warning messages about “ice” on bridges. “Don’t Mess With Texas” is the anti-littering campaign slogan, pretty cool. We are seeing lots of road kill but no armadillos yet. Very hilly in this region of Texas. New vocabulary – a wash is called a draw here.

This must have been an important stopping place in the frontier days but our overnight stop did not include any Indian attacks or roaming buffalo.
