Texas/New Mexico Trip - Ft. Worth
May 14, 2017 23:37:47 #
I recently took a 3 week trip to Texas and New Mexico. I flew into Dallas, picked up my rental car and headed out, making a clockwise circle from Dallas through the Hill Country, to Big Bend National Park, on to Carlsbad, New Mexico, Alamagordo, NM, Amarillo, Texas, and back to Dallas. There were lots of adventures along the way, and this post is for my first night - the Forth Worth Stockyards and Rodeo. The "drovers" for the twice-daily longhorn cattle drive are on the street of the stockyard area to answer questions and let you take their photo. Then there is a rodeo each Friday and Saturday night that was quite exciting but challenging because of the lighting and speed of the action. I had contacted one of the UHH members - Jay Pat - before I came, but we couldn't make our schedules work for a meeting while I was in the Hill Country.

You made a BIG circle on your trip! Two of your destinations, Big Bend and the Hill Country(I grew up there), are my favorites. I enjoyed the Ft. Worth pics, and I'm looking forward to more from your trip.

Thanks. I put 3,000 miles on my rental car before I was done, and had a wonderful time doing it. I love the Hill Country and plan to go back sometime in the future.
