Las Cruces, New Mexico to Tucson, Arizona
We traveled from Texas to Las Cruces, New Mexico to Tucson, Arizona.
Big Bend National Park
Big Bend National Park is expansive and remote. We decided to stay in Lajitas, Texas as a base to explore Terlingua, Big Bend National Park, and Big Bend Ranch State Park. From Edinburg, Texas, we drove to San Antonio, then Fort Stockton, then to Lajitas.
South Padre Island, Texas
South Padre Island, Texas is at the southern tip of the state. Our changes in latitudes brought us to 26 degrees north, which is about the same as West Palm Beach, Florida where my brother Jeff lives. We are further south of San Diego, CA which has a latitude of 32.7. Its that time of year when many are busy shopping and multicolored holiday lights are everywhere. We found a Christmas Tree made from recycled beach sandals.
Riviera, Texas
Riviera, Texas is by Baffin Bay, south of Corpus Christi. It was a 4 hour drive from Spring Branch. The landscape changed from live oak trees and hills to flat coastal topography with grassland and mesquite trees.
