TEXAS 2005

January 10 - April 8, 2005

After visits to Blythe, San Diego, Quartzsite and Phoenix we spent about six weeks in Texas.  We drove through West Texas and down into the Rio Grande Valley.  Then we spent time on the Gulf Coast and over into the Hill Country.  We saw many wildflowers and were able to stop in Death Valley on the way home.
