Day 143 - 2015-09-10 - Mileage 305 (18,384)
Cloudcroft to Ft Stockton, TX today. Oh, and we took a side trip to Carlsbad
Cavern. It’s been years since either of
us had been here, so we decided to go.
They have done a really good job of building a pathway throughout the
big room since the last time we visited.
I took lots of photos, but will share only a couple of them.
After leaving Carlsbad Caverns, we picked up Hwy 652 which
took us back over to Hwy 285 all the way to Ft. Stockton. REALLY crappy road. What frost heaves did in Canada and Alaska,
heat buckles accomplished in NM and TX.
We were thankful this only lasted 150 miles or so.
Days 144 through 150 – Mileage 19,378
Our time was spent on these days visiting family in San
Antonio, Lake Jackson and Franklin TX.
The drive from Ft Stockton TX to Zwolle LA and North Toledo Bend Lake
State Park where we find ourselves tonight was uneventful with little of note
to report. We always enjoy our family
time and are thankful we were able to see as many folks as we did.
If you have followed the blog from the beginning, you know
we always have a culinary agenda when we pass through Texas. I’m happy to report we were successful on all
fronts on this trip. Unfortunately, we will be returning home with a few extra pounds
to prove it.
- Schlotsky’s – San Antonio

Life is Good!
