The rest of this stuff is really on the road back to Lubbock. I think we took East 19th/Idalou Road to the East Loop and went south on Loop 289. This is just stuff we saw.
Cotton, oil, and wind energy make Lubbock go 'round.
Pump Station 8, above and below...
Crumbling roads and bridges, because nobody wants to pay for this stuff...
Lubbock, love it or...
Not a whole lot to say about this because everything is self-evident in the photos.
It isn't long before you're in flat land again.
Eventually we found ourselves in Acuff, home of the The Acuff Steakhouse. Then we knew the way back to Lubbock. In this area, it is hard to get lost.
If you drive on past the golf course, what's left of it, cotton
fields... like the scene above, give way to an interesting little canyon.
Driving through here, you can almost imagine that you are not in West Texas anymore.
My wife has many memories of this place.
It was sad to see it in such a state.
Lubbock has expanded so much to the southwest, this downtown area might as well be abandoned.
Next, we are going to Slaton and I will show you an old, abandoned, golf course there, and views of a canyon near there, and many pics taken while driving back to Lubbock.
