Sunday, We left San Antonio at 8:15am on a beautiful, sunny day in the 70's. We have been very lucky with the nice weather. It was a long day driving Rt 90 all the way to Alpine, Tx. Through Del Rio we stopped for great donuts in a place that was an old Dunkin Donuts. Stopped in Wal Mart then heading west we were stopped for a traffic accident and told the road was closed and would be closed for a couple of hours. We went back to Wal Mart to do some errands and had lunch. After 2.5 hours later we were back on our way on 90 west. At the Pecos River Bridge we did make a scenic photo opportunity stop and took pictures of the highest bridge in Texas. Stopping at the Visitors Center, Judge Roy Bean, center of Law west of Pecos we found out the accident that closed the road was a oil tanker truck that went over the guard into a river. We did see what was left of the burned road and missing guard rails. We heard that the driver survived but the passenger did not.
We arrived about 6:30pm at the Hampton Inn in Alpine, Tx. Every Hampston Inn has been real nice and we are enjoying our stays.

Bill says, he can't believe a couple of yanks like you got through Judge Roy Bean. Then again you were on a motorcycle, not a horse!
We look forward to your visit to Sunny Arizona.
The weather has been perfect this week.
We have planted our garden, well Bill has, while I was working the weekends and unfortunately we had a night of frost and our tomato plants got killed. Today we planted new ones. The weather looks promising from here on out.
The winter season was great north of us in Flagstaff as the ski mountain was opened until mid April. Great for the economy.
Anyhow here in Sedona is perfect the last week.
