We will probably never go (from Oregon) through Nevada again! What a long, boring trip. I would much rather go through California (lots of family and friends) then across through Arizona (more friends) to Texas. Anyhow, I'm glad to learn of an alternate route across Texas. I-10 is really quite awful. Off to peruse your blog right now! Thank you, thank you! :)Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-80494036607158297002019-05-27T18:19:35.013-07:002019-05-27T18:19:35.013-07:00I second the recommendation for Davis Mountains St...I second the recommendation for Davis Mountains State Park, Alpine, and Marfa. We've stayed there several times in our travels (on our blog if you want specifics) and it's a delightful area. You would enjoy it! :-)Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-89853919116437282552019-05-26T09:00:05.687-07:002019-05-26T09:00:05.687-07:00Deb, I just spent a few minutes looking up Alpine,...Deb, I just spent a few minutes looking up Alpine, Marfa and the Davis Mountains. We will definitely go that route next time we drive across Texas! We wanted to stay on I-10 since we had to be somewhere in a few days (and rv travel is much slower than by regular car), but this route on Hwy. 90 looks much more appealing! Thanks for the recommendations!Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-5091777547316567742019-05-26T06:12:51.085-07:002019-05-26T06:12:51.085-07:00I love reading about your traveling adventures.

Alpine is a lovely little town and Marfa has become a real tourist attraction. (Plus Marfa has a fabulous independent bookstore.)Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
