The Great Western Texas Desert

A common scene through Texas.
Ususally, I see them dead beside the road




The desert after Brackettville, Texas
This kind of country should continue with very few towns
 for ten days riding
I rode for one day out onto the west Texas desert from Brackettville.  Here at Del Rio I checked into Motel6 and checked the weather forecast.  It was terrible for the next ten days.  Then I investigated the train station which runs directly to LA’s Union Station.  The temptation was just too strong.  I am now the holder of an Amtrak ticket and should be home Friday afternoon.





The places I slept on this adventure are shown at http://goo.gl/maps/e2fS5 .  Thanks to Michael Angerman for preparing and updating this map.  He keept it current throughout the trip.

    1. It will be good to be home. It seems like a longer journey than it was.
