This is the lovely uninhabitable land we first saw today.
And then it got better!! It is no wonder nothing lives here.
Getting close to Van Horn and the scenery has not changed.
We stopped for fuel in Van Horn. What a depressing city. By this time the wind had whipped us into complete exhaustion. Right before we got here, the driver side of the coach started creaking and popping. We thought it was the wall being stressed against the wind, but the lady in the office here said it was actually our windows trying to hold up against the wind. I did not need to hear that.
As we were leaving I took a picture of houses in Van Horn, Texas. I'm not kidding.
Then we went through El Paso, Texas. We were shocked at the highway construction but happy it is putting lots of people to work. They are building flyovers which they have never had. We do not want to try to drive on those, no matter what the weather. The traffic in El Paso is very, very heavy. Not sure why so many people live there. The air quality is the pits. At some spots you could not see across the river because of the smog.
Houses on the east side of El Paso. This is on the Texas side.
This is called a wash. They build these to catch the flooding water if and when it rains,
which is very seldom. There are lots of these washes everywhere. It has not rained here in a very long time and rain is badly needed.
BlogSpot will not let me post any more pictures, so I will close this one out
and finish on a separate post. Maybe it's the wind.........
