Yep, a little prettier than Odessa where I grew up. But our storms are often beautiful.
I drove through Odessa a couple years ago. We are in "monsoon" season which for NM is hit or miss when it comes to rain actually falling. But the last couple of days the skies have been amazing.
Don't get to drive the south west, but just finished driving from Los Angeles to Portland Oregon a few hours ago. I gotta say that I'm very proud of my 190K mile old Durango. She still makes those 16 hour trips like a champ.
Hey! Both hands on the wheel, Mister!
(Great pics!)
I have pics of folks water skiing down Muskingum St. (a street in Odessa) right after a flash flood. An hour late no water. Only in TEXAS. :rock::rock:
