| The first "mountain" I'd seen since coming to Texas. This pic was taken somewhere between Midland and El Paso. |
 |
| The Green Mountains they are not but I was happy to see them anyway. |
 |
| Van Horn, TX. Population 1,960. Van Horn is 185 miles from Midland so we stopped here at about 2pm for some mental conditioning and a walkthrough. We did the walkthrough on the parking lot with football markings painted on it. I asked one of the other assistants why a parking lot would have a football field painted on it - answer = thats where the marching band practices. Even a school with an enrollment of 265 in grades 5-12 has a marching band. |
 |
| More Van Horn scenery. I felt like I should have worn my six shooters to this town - it was old school old west. |
 |
| The terrain got more difficult the closer we got to El Paso. |
 |
| Speaking of difficult terrain, you can see Ciudad Jaurez, Mexico in the distance on the other side of highway. Home of ISIS evidently and the 37th most dangerous city in the world. It was the murder capital of the world "exceeding the 2nd and 3rd finishers by 25%" from 2007-2009. Awesome! Suffice it to say, we did not cross the river for our postgame meal. |
