Texas, Texas, and more Texas

Day two finds me leaving New Mexico early in the morning, only to enter the largest State in the Union (not counting Alaska), Texas. Who's idea was it to make Texas so dang wide? Can't we cut it in half, or maybe even quater it? After a couple of hours it all looks the same. After 8 hours? It still looks the same.

I will say that my trusty Garmin GPS is doing a fine job. It decided to take me off the I-10 to take-in all the sites the US-290 has to offer. Did I mention the reduced speed to 45mph in some zones? Did I mention the time-warp feeling back to 1950? Did I mention missing the annual Mud Dauber Festival and Ball in Fredericksburg, TX? Did I mention having to stay at a Best Western (and paying $140 for a room) due to said Festival and Ball? I didn't? hm, maybe I will next time I see you.

EDIT: I also got stopped my US Border Patrol. To be fair, they were stopping everyone. When I finally got to the front of the line, Wolf/Bare Johnson almost came out, but I suppressed him. I wasn't too worried, as I knew where my passport was.

Also, remember to check the prior post to see newly added photos from today.
