#11-42 Fredericksburg, TX and heading west 10-22 thru 10-24

We stopped in Fredericksburg, TX for the weekend.  They were having a wine and cheese tasting in the Plaza, but we arrived too late, so just took a stroll downtown and then went to dinner.
Mmmm good!  Red cabbage, German potatoes and wiener schnitzel. 

We are a couple of happy “gourmet's.”

The long road out of the “hill country” of Texas heading west.
As wet and flooded as the Dakota’s were, Texas is burning up.  In this picture you can see beyond the bushes along the road side all the dying vegetation.  No rain and very hot summer.  Crazy weather this summer all over.
Very few oil wells on this route.  Above is an active oil pump and behind it on the hill are the wind turbines.  A changing time for energy distribution.
On to New Mexico.  We were going to stop at an RV park in Junction, TX, but it was closed, so we drove on to the east side of El Paso for our overnight stop.  Next stop Las Cruces, where we will spend a few days and visit some of the sites around there.
