We continued our meandering west in Texas.

Cotton fields everywhere. Did you know that the state of Texas produces the most cotton in the U.S.?

We passed many decaying buildings and farmhouses – just think of the stories this home could tell.

Our destination today was the Lubbock Elks.  They have 10 full hook up sites in a nice neighborhood.

The main reason we are here is that Andy has a phone appointment with his doctor and we found out that Lubbock has decent cell service (which we haven’t had in a while).

After seeing how much this area has to offer, we decided to stay a week.  (Just love being able to travel this way – Smile).

We stopped in for Happy Hour at the Elks before calling it a night.

Stats for today:

Miles Traveled:  152 Miles

Texas:  Avenue C (Haskell); US-380; US-84; AZ-289; Milwaukee Avenue

November 7th, 2023

After Andy’s phone call (and a few other things we had to do), we decided to check out the town and stop for supplies.

I truly do miss the pantry and large refrigerator we had in the Bounder. 

Tomorrow we are going to play tourist so stay tuned and enjoy today.
