The area I was crossing is sparsely populated and there are few attractions. I was passing through Van Horn, the launch site for Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, so I (optimistically) checked the launch schedule but the next one is March 29. I was planning a brief stop at Historic Fort Stockton but it was closed and the parking area was blocked so I couldn’t even do the short trail there.<\/p>\n
Even though the journey was 433 miles on Interstate highway it was the most enjoyable drive of the trip so far because there was little traffic, a speed limit of 80 mph (129 km\/h) and the surroundings were natural with plenty of hills and gentle bends to keep me engaged.<\/p>\n
It felt like western driving and I look forward to more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
