On the road again....in Fort Stockton Texas

We left San Antonio this morning and are staying tonight near Fort Stockston Texas about half way to El Paso.  Got the worst milage this trip (6.5mpg)  a 20-25MPH head wind, lots of ups and few downs and wide open road ( that encourages high speeds).  Speed limit on this road is 80MPH, yikes we don't go that fast.
Wind is still blowing and rocking the boat.  High wind also makes the air dusty and limits the visibility. 
They are building a big power transmission line along side the freeway and it is in various stages of construction, so instead of watching one tower get built we get to see a bunch and can see the progress of installing and rigging to pull the wires, its pretty interesting (for me anyway).
West Texas is very big and there is not much here so the freeway exits are a long way apart and a lot of them have no services.  We are having to use the next exit book to plan where to stop for gas to make sure we don't get on the 80 mile stretch with no services.
