tumbleweed road

 

2016 has reached the end of its road.  Many times it might have been tough to travel -- with ruts, sand pits and obstacles.  The 2017 road has to be smoother!  I helped pave that road by eating my black-eyed peas today!  (I recently read that the state tree of West Texas is the telephone pole -- as evidenced by this photo)

 

Lubbock County, Texas

country road

County Road 3600 through Yellow House Canyon is a scenic drive -- in all seasons.  It looks quite different from the usual Lubbock aspect.  A flock of turkeys crossed the road in front of me.  It's best to start in Slaton on Railroad Avenue.  At the feed store, turn north and cross the tracks.  After a few miles of flat farmland, the vista of the canyon appears.
