LD at Gum Springs Recreation Area west of Winnfield, Louisiana, January 8, 2007

With all due respect for Texas and Texans, I find the scenery in Texas to be generally a bit too scrubby (or is that shrubby) for my taste and I've decided to ignore my 40 mile per day budget and get Texas largely behind me. I'll spend time sitting still in New Mexico to try and get back on budget. I do want to check out Donald Judd's museum in Marfa, Texas on my way to New Mexico so I'm heading that way .

I was going to stop at the Wal-Mart in Brady, Texas but the store is not a super store and I didn't feel comfortable there (a new new super store is under construction next door - in a nice brown & tan color scheme) so I decided to continue on to San Angelo TX. I ended up at the new super store at the north end of town (also brown & tan).
