01 TX Redbud Alpine TX (921x1024)

Texas Redbud

At least it seems like that in West Texas. Trees are budding, the temperatures in the 70s F, and the wind is blowing like crazy.

02 East of Alpine Hwy 90 TX

Left Alpine this morning after a wonderful visit with old friends from my Mount St. Helens Rangering days almost 20 years ago.

03 Roadcut along Hwy 90 E of Alpine TX

Looks like limestone on the bottom topped by shale and some conclomerate

I love roadcut geology.

Twice I saw a Caracara at road kill. (This image is from the web.) A lifer!

05 Pecos River

Pecos River

Started looking for an RV Park about 4pm near Eagle Pass. All full, mostly with oil workers. Drove another 125 miles until I found a place in Cotulla. Way too many hours for a day but does put me closer to my destination. A little over 200 more miles to go.
