    Good Day Russ, Boy I sure wish Arizona could get some rain storms, bring some back with you. Big fires all around Arizona and the heat, the heat is on. Depending where you are heading in AZ you might want to consider doing some night driving to beat the heat of the day. Be sure to thank your family for sharing you with all of us! See You Soon!

I have to quarantine if I go to NJ now so staying in Colorado until.....I Love I40 for driving. ✌🏾💙 I also like the state sign selfies 📷 😁 A rest stop shelter is also new to me 😱 although I’ve been to Texas before...7 years ago.

    As a future idea, consider a visit to Marfa, Texas between El Paso and Big Bend National Park. Marfa is an artistic and cultural oasis in the desert. The downtown shops will keep you busy.

    As a born and raised Okie I can attest to the storms. Especially in the western part of the state, when they get going, there's nothing to stop them but a couple old cows and a rusty barbed wire fence.

    You should take a look at Tex on Google maps... a 2013 street view image and a sign asking for public support ("Cowboy Up") to restore the statue. Tex had 'sho 'nuf seen better days back in 2013. Looks like the campaign was successful though!

    I grew up in Amarillo and I know that the Tex has been there in Canyon since the early 60’s. So I am sure since late 50’s too. It is very recently that they fixed up Tex and made a park there. For a very long time he was there alone by a rundown empty cafe and later an empty lot. Even in August of 2019 when I last was there he was there alone and very worse for wear. Fingers broken, cement flaking all over. I was afraid he would soon be taken down. So I am glad they finally fixed him as he deserves.
    As for being very windy. Well, welcome the Texas panhandle.
    One last thing and you may know now but this is for others. The town is pronounced Her-ford.

    Next month my daughter and I will go to Moab, Utah. I will drive from San Antonio, Tx. I remember that last year when we went to Grand Canyon, when I came back I spend the night on Albuquerque, on my way to San Antonio my GPS took me for a road where I saw far away two giants cowboys one in front another each side of the road. I was afraid to stop to take a picture. It was a solitary road. Any chance you know that road? I would like to take the opportunity to make a video next month when I go back again.

    Love when you say welcome back to TX. Makes us feel like we're home, even tho we're sheltering in place in CA because of TX Gov Abbott's terrible management of Covid-19 that's affecting the entire state right now. We actually feel safer in CA because they're so much stricter the at home in TX.

    Too bad you drove through the trucker side of the billion dollar rest area. The view on the auto side is incredible. You're allowed to stay in that rest area and it's East bound cousin for 2 days . It's too bad that Texas put all their money into those rest areas ,because the rest of the 40 has none. Several parking / picnic areas with NO bathrooms. Consequently, the smell of urine is quite evident at the parking/picnic areas . When ya gotta go . Ya gotta go.
