Down on the Brazos via Pecos

My daughter announced!! Dad I'm leaving home (That would mean Tucson) and i know you got nothing to do?????  I'm moving to Texas to join my kids down by the Brazos. So it was load it up and move it out, herding a reluctant min-van along two of the most boring highways in the west. I-10 to the I-20 Junction and up I-20 to Weatherford. With small breaks in El Paso (Rubys BBQ)

 

    Not the best BBQ  but good variety and it's a good place to gas up and take a break. Best before 11am and after 2pm. If you hit it at lunch time like i did expect to be there awhile. I didn't mind, i needed a break and the parade of local female Gluteus maximus made up for the lost time on the road.






Then on to I-20 and the goal of Pacos for the night in a bad hotel room. Caution do not stay in the hotel right off the freeway, it was like trying to sleep in the medium of the freeway. Complete with bad sounds and a soup kitchen breakfast. But stay in town and go see the Museum if your into them, this is one of the better small town ones.  And well worth the $4.00.





  
Then off to Weatherford and the Brazos and the  Horseshoe Bend Trail home on stilts.                                                                                                  










And a back yard down to the river and a place to throw in a line for some decent catfish.

Now it was time to do the tourist thing, The Granbury Theater, the biggest rocking chair in Texas, some Studebaker sighting,  and any other thing that catches the eye such as the dinosaur farm.

Now it's time to head west and a side adventure to Sierra Blanca. But that's another story.
