It got up to 107 according to my car while I was driving yesterday. When I pulled up to my campsite at about 7:45PM CDT it was still 101. I camped on a lake in Texas. I’m not in the desert anymore as there is abundant grass and trees here. Even though it wasn’t too humid, it didn’t cool off very much like it did in the New Mexico desert. It probably only got to maybe mid 70’s last night.

Texas is definitely oil country. At least the part I drove through yesterday. I did see several very large wind farms as well. Other than that, there isn’t much out here. There’s very little traffic and the roads are straight and flat and don’t have exits for miles at a time. You can make quick time on roads like that. I just took a look at my maps and I should be able to make it to Arkansas tonight. We’ll see how far into it I get. I think I will go through Memphis, TN as well. I’ve heard it’s a nice city, so I’ll check it out.

Well, time to get driving.
