The Trip Begins

We will be spending December in Texas and we began our travels Monday, driving from Gold Canyon to Willcox, Arizona. There are interesting sights along the way. These are the rock formations in Texas Canyon along I-10.



Today we drove from Willcox to Anthony, Texas, just west of El Paso.

We saw these mountains near Las Cruces, New Mexico.


This roadrunner statue was on a hill above the interstate.  The real roadrunners are one of the wonderful sights in Texas.


It is still fall down here, with trees turning yellow.


These mountains lined the route east of Las Cruces.


 These yucca plants were the tallest vegetation in Southeastern New Mexico.




Not far from Anthony, we passed a sign that read "Eat More Ice Cream, Drink More Milk." It wasn't long before we came to this dairy farm.



The wind picked up as we approached the El Paso area.  We could hardly see the mountains and realized there was a lot of dust in the air.  Then we passed a sign warning of dust storms for 15 miles.


We have a lot more to see and do between now and Christmas.
