Trekking west and following a favorite route as we do not believe in taking a major expressway like the 10 across the Southwest or anywhere. Our route of choice is the 90, down in the bottom Texas, accessing the road from San Antonio, where we spent an evening on the Riverwalk and captured one of the many tour boats.
The joys of RVing are the surprises and the ability to make spur of the moment changes in our route. We drove from San Antonio toward Sanderson, planning to stop overnight in a rest stop (tried and true many years ago.) As we pulled into the stop, another coach that we had played do-si- do with on the road, came in entering from the other entrance), so our doors faced each other. We met between coaches and talked and talked with Bob and his gorgeous Cockatoo, appropriately named Glacier whose one word is Hello!! What a great time we had. We exchanged stories then entered our coaches for diner.
The next day we continued west driving though our favorite towns; Alpine, Marfa and Valentine awaiting our arrival at the skid marks on the road. Why Skid marks you may ask? because in the middle of nowhere there is a Prada Store, yes a Prada store with vintage shoes and purses displayed in their glory. As the sign explains this is an art installation and we have enjoyed it for all of the years of its existence. If one is not forewarned, the skid marks are self explanatory. Our trip west is as usual jam packed full and delightful, I just wanted to share a slice of life on the road.
