The park is rugged high desert with peaks rising thousands of feet above the desert floor very desolate and awe inspiring. Rode up to what we thought was a view point nestled in between mountains and several miles in found a lodge, restaurant and gift shop at the very end of the road. Left the park at the east end heading north to Ft Stockton so we are just down the road from last night but a great days drive.
DAY 4
Jan, had mentioned that he had heard that the road to Langtry Texas, former home of Judge Roy Bean was a good stop. Looking at the map we saw that a trip to Langtry was a perfect start to the day with a trip to the museum and original bar where both drinking and court were held. Click Judge Roy Bean for more info. Continued along the Rio Grande crossing over the Pecos before turning north and stopping for the night in Uvalde, Texas.
Well those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin'
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Bob Seger
Day 4 a thousand plus down the road, great scenery, great two lanes, good friends and still runnin against the wind.

Bob Read and I were emailing about the awesome Seger concert. Told him your theme song was 'Runnin Against the Wind'. He thought it would be 'Roll Me Away'...yeh, that one too, my ramblin' man. BTW, hope you didn't forget my magnet at the gift shop. Sorry I missed your call tonight. Had a great time at our Good Sam reunion. Time for bed. Love you!
Hope you sleep better tonight! Less coffee might help. All is well here. Grandkids missing their papa.
Can just see you riding along those curvy roads to your music. I remember belting out Bob Seger songs playing on a cassette tape driving in the Ram Charger. :) Going to have to teach those to the grandkids too! Enjoy. Love you.
