Day 5 was I-10 east. Ozona, Tx is a small town at mp 365 so we traveled 60 miles further than the mileage of I-5 through Oregon. The highway varied from new and smooth to "where to I drive to avoid the roughest part?" And trucks, and more trucks, and even more trucks. The speed limit is 80 and I drive at 62 so everyone, except other RVs, goes whizzing by.
My observation of west Texas. Very few towns along I-10. Once we got through the El Paso area I think we passed maybe 4-5 towns. The topography was my biggest eye opener. I expected FLAT. Not so at all, We saw mountains, valleys, rolling hills covered with junipers and bushes, and some flat lands with creosote and prickly pear. I don't remember even seeing ranches out there. I wonder what the land is used for and who owns it. In Nevada most of the land is federal but I am not sure with Texas.
Looking forward to getting to LBJ just after lunch today and parking this rig for a while.
