Sorry to spell Mardi Gras wrong... proof reading needed.
Texas is an impressive state... If I was headed south east from California and I was running I-10 I would time my driving so I would sleep in Las Cruces and drive to Beaumont to sleep again. I don’t know of anywhere on earth that you can sleep in almost a Sonoran Desert and drive for a day and sleep next where sugarcane is grown.
I have been throughout the Panhandle to Brownsville, Laredo, Corpus Christi, the Metroplex, Wichita Falls, seen it snow in San Antonio several times and toMidland/Odessa to the CAF CONFEDERATE Air Force Museum where Fifi was hangared.
Don’t mess with Texas!
Absolutely you don’t mess with TEXAS or TEXANS! LOL! I live in that “almost Sonoran Desert” area of Odessa/Midland. I have also visited the CAF museum and the yearly air show they put on in October. Lots of amazing aircraft flying around at that time.
