November 6-7, 2023 Lubbock Texas

November 6th, 2023

We continued our meandering west in Texas. 

Past farms and fields:

Many oil rigs:

Oil Storage Tanks:

Farm silos – notice all the birds in the photo:

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.

Even more cotton:

The road goes on forever:

 

 

Horses!

Cute small towns – notice all the brick buildings and roads:

 

More oil rigs:

And turbines – I love all the white in this photo:

Cotton, oil and wind turbines:

 

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 – ).

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

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.
