Road trip pix!

Here's a few pix from my big adventure across West Texas and New Mexico - foul weather, flat roads and all...

Budget Inn parking lot in Van Horn, TX:

The main drag in Van Horn:

Buckhorn Saloon in Pinos Altos, NM (waiting for it to open!):

US180 just east of El Paso (I ditched the Interstate this trip):

El Capitan looming the distance (8th highest point in TX at 8,085 ft):

Looks like Burt Reynolds has fallen on hard times... saw his car on a lot in Breckenridge, TX:

Looks like the decimal point fell off, from between the 9 and the 0...

Miata looks like a State Trooper car with that white top!

I think I fooled the law on this trip... didn't even get a second glance from the county mounties...

Some kid from Austria who was driving it from California to Houston. He was more worried about whether his car would start than the squirrelly weather!

If he's from Austria chances are he has seen snow before. ;)

Well, that much is true... but I'd show a little concern for all the other crazy mofos who think they're Scandinavian ice-driving champions all of a sudden...

I hope you had a good time.. It looks like driving conditions would have been exciting to say the least..... I liked the Budget Inn pic the Miata looks pretty cool covered in snow.

Thanks - glad y'all like the pix! It was a good time all around, and the Miata's not too bad of a sloppy-weather car.
