Texas truck stop




Oct. 31st, 10:30 pm. As we left Shamrock, Texas and headed west, the sun was setting. We were driving at about the speed limit--75 mph on most of these highways--and the sun seemed to set for a little more than an hour. I don't have a picture of that, but here's the "Flying J", in Amarillo, where we stopped for food and fuel, and one tacky Texas souvenir. No armadillos in sight. We would like to see one, but I don't know if they live in this part of Texas.

Texas



Oct. 31st, 12:30 pm--7:30 pm. We stopped at this motel in Shamrock, Texas, too tired to drive. This town is famous to fans of Route 66--the town hall is a small museum. The "eyes of Texas are upon you" sign was outside of our door.
