On average 3 days travel to get through Texas. Lots of highway driving with the speed limit of 75-80 miles an hour. WAY too fast for us. We average 105 at best, depending on wind/rain.
We see a lot of interesting things on the road. Have you ever seen arms of a wind turbine traveling down the highway? Well we have, and they are HUGE! We also, unfortunately, see accidents which is not surprising given the speed at which people travel. And lineups?? When it comes to the inspection stations, manned by the border patrol, the lineups of trucks can be overwhelming.
The craziest drive this time was Dallas/Fort Worth. The highway system is immense and traffic can be heavy. The one great thing though is the highway numbers painted on the road lanes. Very easy to follow, but it was great to see the Tennessee border sign and the Bass Pro Shop pyramid. A little trivia for you, there are aprox. 36 Base Pro Drive/Lanes (streets) across the U.S and only about 3 in Canada.
