Roscoe, Texas

Mary remains at home in California tending to medical issues.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the about 125 miles from Lubbock to Roscoe, Texas. In doing so I dropped from 3,256 to 2,358 feet in elevation and from 229,000 to 1,322 population. I was driving southeast on U.S. Highway 84 and fighting a constant 30+ mile per hour wind hitting the motorhome broadside on the passenger side. It was a very tiring 2.5 hour drive driving directly into the sun once again. When you are in West Texas you are in WIND COUNTRY! I saw hundreds of wind generators along the way.

I’ve got the motorhome hiding behind American Legion Post #217 trying to shelter it from the wind which still manages to come around the side of the building. I’ve done a lot of rocking and rolling since I arrived here just before noon yesterday.

I expect to depart later this morning. Here are some photos…

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

Driving into the sun once again…

Here I am hiding behind the American Legion Post…

Looking out the motorhome windshield and using the zoom lens overlooking the railroad tracks you can see some wind generators along the highway…

I might as well show you the trains going by. !00+ car trains passed by about every hour. I did not get a great night’s sleep…

And I always like to show the view from the dinette widow…

Finally, sunset over Roscoe, Texas at 6:30 PM…

Dealing with strong and constant winds is not another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!
