Travels in July

So, no excuses and such and such, but the reason I’ve been so far behind on this blog is that I have moved to Kentucky with my family, which has involved driving back and forth between Kentucky and Texas three times this year already, plus a trip to Fargo and a trip to New York City. At least 15,000 miles driven by yours truly. I’m catching up right now, though.

Here’s a map of everywhere I went in just July. I drove the exact same route from KY to NJ and back again, which is why it appears as one line. I didn’t stop at the same Arby’s twice, though.

Texas roadside

On my recent trip to Texas I went all up and down the Brazos, took a bunch of pictures.


The Brazos, at least down near the bottom, is a big muddy mess. I can’t imagine crossing this thing without a bridge, on a horse no less.


I took a whole bunch of pictures of this, but it’s tough to really convey it. I was just barely over the Red River in Oklahoma (this was on the way in to the state) and I saw a house get crushed by a tree that was bigger than it. Easy to see how it happened — the soil around there was nothing but red dirt — but not easy to see how the tree got that big to begin with. It’s a darn good bet that, since this wasn’t bottomland, the tree wasn’t there the last time a herd of buffalo came through — and that was about 150 years ago, give or take a couple decades.
