So, truth be told, the hotel room was "decent." The work they were doing in the middle of the night on one of the rooms didn't help. The wi-fi that literally only reached to my door but not inside the room was even more annoying. But I was up early, refreshed, recharged and ready to … Continue reading 113. Post, Garza County →

I managed to beat the dying of the light and this beautiful old lady awaited as my reward for a hard day of pushing myself. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to estimate how far I have driven today. As we can see, I couldn't get too close to this one. She … Continue reading 112. Tahoka, Lynn County →

Time was ticking down. I hadn't even noticed this before, but you can tell from the reflection in the courthouse window that the sun was getting low in the sky. I was running out of daylight and I needed to get it done before and done soon. There's always a cemetery. Welcome to the Brownfield … Continue reading 111. Brownfield, Terry County →

I do know know when I expected when I got here, but it wasn't what I found here. Lamesa was this odd little intersection between weird and traditional, mundane and funky, and I'm still processing it a little bit. When I got here, there was a baseball game being broadcast through speakers invisibly set up … Continue reading 108. Lamesa, Dawson County →

Not much to photograph here in Gail so I might as well get to the cache. Happily enough, there happens to be one right here at the courthouse, the Coyote Hitching Post. Well, there's the hitching post at the GZ. I'll start looking it over for a micro. There's not a lot of places where … Continue reading 107. Gail, Borden County →
