More of the frontage road to Serria Blanca - cleared the top thanks to wind yesterday. The Flat just at dusk worked out well too. Fixed it this morning.

Serria Blanca, Hudspeth County court House was built of adobe in 1919 - Looks like it has held up pretty good.

Sierra Blanca,m Tx - If you only see the couple of blocks near the freeway you would think the town is dead - its not.

Got 2 gallons of water and had some coffee and snacks – at the Exxon station. Talked with Grandmother who worked there – She had moved to Sierra Blanca from San Antonio after her daughter and grandchildren had move here. The have a nice school and she likes it. Her youngest granddaughter is 13. More good people doing good stuff.

On the road to Van Horn - another one of those sites you might miss at 80MPH on the hill top in the middle of here and now. wonder what the story is up there.

The frontage road is on North side of I10 through here so I see into the windshields of the cars, trucks and RVs heading west. Having driven this section more than a Dozen times over the years. I get the sense that those driving, experience this country as if they are watch TV, except for the bugs on   the screen. Climate controlled and the picture blurry at the edges as your flying along at 80mph. as I am looking into the windshields I get a brief sense of walking by a window and peaking into for a brief second into someones house.

Here is the end of the frontage road from Serria Blanca to Van Horn that runs on the North sided of I10

Your about 5 or 6 miles short of Van Horn, Tx. not to worry.

Here is the cross over the divided section of I10 - the traffic was light and you can see a long ways - but do not dally.

Once you have crossed over the 4 lanes to the east bound side the shoulder is very wide and smooth. The Ice Trike coasted all the way to the grocery store in Van Horn about 7 miles, cranked the pedals just to keep from getting stiff.

Tuesday PM In for the night nice camping area and indoor activity room. Austin on his way to Kerrville, Tx stopped and we talked, He had went to Texas Tech many a year ago. Had played music at local hotel in 72'

Some days 2 or 3 folks come out. This is a small world in many ways.

We just need to keep in mind an old sales tool that IBM marketing taught back in mid seventies to get customers motivated to buy computers. “FUD” factor Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt will motivate just about anyone to do just about anything. Just watch the News and the commercials, for the FUD factor. Oh what did the devil say to Eve “Did God really say you couldn’t eat of the fruit of this tree? uncertainty, doubt?

Thanks for spending a couple of minutes with me Austin.
