States #14 & #15 of the GeoAdventure

We are nearing the end of the 16 State GeoAdventure and like a "horse headed for the barn" we are both ready to reach our winter home.

We now have 103 caches in Oklahoma. Time to move along.

State #14

we were in farming country today

we also noticed this part of TX is very dry

after seeing all the green in the upper midwest

and the trees in the southern states,

the dry grass of TX was almost a shock

some farmers/ranchers were feeding hay to their stock

pastures were short and brown

another interesting water tower

center pole was straight

frame wasn't

Groom TX

State #15

we stopped at this location to get a geocache

we parked as safely as one can with a truck and travel trailer

and spent a lot of time looking

while we were intent on our search

an 18 wheeler driving past blew a tire

it was so loud...like a gunshot

and black tire flying everywhere

happened maybe 100' down the road

lots of screeching and braking of vehicles, too

we were safe

didn't find the cache, either...bummer

had to get one farther into New Mexico

We will drive across New Mexico on Sunday. It was a very windy day for driving on Saturday. New Mexico is always windy. Maybe there won't be as many big trucks on I 40 being it's Sunday. One can hope...
