The drive to Texas

Pretty Highways of Texas, the way Mary looks at 5 in the morning and 2 county courthouse.




The drive to Texas went very well. We left last Thursday at 0300 hours, drove to Murdo (200 miles) and went south for 812 more miles. We did see on Bull Elk on the prairie of South Dakota. This was a 1st. The weather was thunderstorms, to include 1 inch hail, in South Dakota and hot the rest of the way. We stayed the 1st night in Liberal Kansas, The temperature was 103 degrees and not 1 of the 6 hotels we checked had an open pool. The next morning we drove on to Merkel Texas. One neat thing about Texas is the location of the county courthouses. The courthouse must be located within 1 days horseback ride from anywhere in the county. The courthouse is also normally in the town center.

  1. The most beautiful courthouse is at Lockhart - located, of course, in the center of the square. Very old.
