Abilene

Today's drive took us out of the hill country into more of a mesquite, prickly pear, and yucca landscape.  It was an easy drive and most of Texas roads that we have found have been very good.  Jo made an identification of the yellow wildflowers that have been plentiful most of the way.  Beside the few bluebonnets that we have seen there have been Indian blanket, and Indian paint brush she named the yellow ones as engelmann's daisy and greenthread.  For most of today's drive the right-of-way was filled with this colorful blanket.

Since our appointment at the factory isn't until next Tuesday we have a couple of days to explore around here, so stay tuned.  Since we are away from the gulf seafood we just might have to try some Texas BBQ.
