Colder nights, longer days (of driving)

We woke up to chilly 3 C this morning. Packed up quickly to stay warm and were on our way again.  

We saw lots of cows and hay bales this morning.  But no barns. They seems to build covers but not walls for the hay, cows and horses (due to the milder weather I guess). 

Driving through El Paso it was interesting to see many bright colored buildings. Yellow, pink, orange, purple. Shopping centers large and small were all brightly coloured.   The pollution smell wasn't nearly as interesting. 

Paul saw the posted speed limit on the GPS read 130KPH. Can't drive that fast and still have trailer tires. 

We drove by mountains of dirt and rock today, we stopped at a rest area . . . somewhere for lunch, the exit was called Wild Horse Road, there didn't appear to be any town close by. 

After taking the turnoff to Hwy 20, it was very flat and dry. In all four directions we could see nothing but desert.   Except for oil pumps - those things that look  like ether birds pulling up the oil. 

We have stopped the night at Midessa RV (halfway between Midland and Odessa).
