Where Are We Today
Rest Area Saragosa Texas
Tonight we are at this rest area , exit 212 off I-10, at the bottom of the exit ramp. |
This has been a great travel day, leaving the Sam's Club parking lot just before 8 a.m., we were on I-10 within 5 minutes, rolling through the rest of the San Antonia construction. Being Sunday, there were only a couple of workers out moving pylons, probably for tomorrow. Even with this being major road work to I-10, the travel areas of it are fairly smooth, in fact, I would rate the days travel as being an 8 out if 10 for an average.
Construction at San Antonio |
Our 347 mile route
through this part of Texas sees a lot of open country and change in elevation,
climbing from 600 ft. to over 3300 ft., with speed limits starting at 60 mph.,
then to 75 mph and finally topping out at 80 mph. We of course, cruise along at 65 mph., that's plenty fast
enough for our likening.
Up and down thru the cuts in the rock |
The scenery is breath
taking, as you look out over the open landscape, with the foothills rising to
the mountains we will see tomorrow and the first glimpse of cactus. This is the
southwest that we come to enjoy each winter.
What a view! |
Thanks for stopping by,
check in with
Prayers and hugs to you, George and Suzie.
Lots of miles today and still able to settle down for the evening before sunset. Enjoy the evening.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug, I enjoyed the drive today.
DeleteI honestly think 65 is a perfect speed for anyone! Why 80 i'll never know :0 Looks like a really nice place to hang for the night ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree, 65 mpg. Yes it was a really nice to hang for the night.
DeleteWe are in the 55 to 60 mph range...lol
ReplyDeleteAlways like when we start seeing cactus. Next week Saguaros and Ocotillos will be in our view!!! Enjoy New Mexico and continued safe travels.
65 is my top, 60 - 63 mpg is where the truck seems to get it's best mileage.
