Spur: Have We Arrived Yet?

We sure haven't! Where we are, is still on the road, but getting closer all the time.

I was so impressed by the scenery I got a little snap-happy.

We were on this road for half-an-hour and only encountered two vehicles! I like that.

I wonder what it would be like to drive this road slowly, at night, in a convertible, with the top down? You would really be able to see the stars, for one thing. It would be a great opportunity to be abducted by saucerians. Remember when everybody and his Uncle Fritz got abducted? It happened to all the best people.

We are about to enter Spur...

 

Beyond Crosbyton

You can get to Spur from Lubbock by taking a right in Dickens, but there is also a turn off onto a two-lane blacktop road that undulates gently through farm country, and we got to Spur that way-- it's the scenic route. 

This stretch of road does not have much traffic and I thought of how neat it would be to do it on a bicycle, maybe starting from Spur and returning, making a round trip. It's definitely the sort of thing a bike club should consider.

We took our time, and enjoyed the drive.

 

Crosbyton

So this continues the Dairy Queen area...

It's really one of the town's social hotspots!

Best of all, there was nobody smoking in the DQ!

And so we bid farewell to Crosbyton and after driving a few more miles the terrain changes...

The new landscape is a welcome change!

Still On The Road

I kind of like snapping pics out the car window as things whizz by. The camera I use for this has an "action" feature that reduces blurring, but when blurring does occur, it sometimes lends an interesting effect when the pic is processed.

On and on we go.

We stopped at the Dairy Queen in Crosbyton. It was Sunday and after church, so half the town was there. That's what you do in Crosbyton. I took some photos around the DQ.
