Left Jackson at 6:08 and drove for 17 hours.

Along the way, we saw a lot of big open spaces punctuated by small towns each of which had at least a grain elevator and church if nothing else. About the only real city we came to was Dallas which including suburbs took about an hour and a half to traverse. An interesting sign advertised the “Mesquite Buffet Chinese Cuisine” in the Dallas Exurbs,
Amarillo looked about the size of Jackson, MS. We went right through the middle of it past the city hall and “artsy section” on our trek. Texas seems to be one big farm. Either cattle, corn or other crops. A lot of what looked like wheat under those circular irrigation machines. Most towns of any size had a Dairy Queen along with the church and farm co-ops.
We saw a wind farm near Dalhart, TX. which was pretty interesting. The turbines do dominate the skyline, but I think they look cool.
