Texas Route 90 drive

We spent a week traveling along route 90 enjoying beautiful scenery. We spent a few days in Alpine,Texas. From there we traveled in several directions.
I hope you can read the inscription on this stone about the mysterious Marfa Lights. We watched these lights come and go... up and down. We saw red, blue and white ones. 

                                                                                  We visited the McDonald Observatory which is run by the University of Texas and Penn State. It houses the 5th largest telescope in the world. We were able to go right into the dome, see, touch and manuver the telescope. It is housed outside of Fort Davis Texas, which is the highest point in Texas. Beautiful views and scenery.    We also went to the Fort which defended this area from Indian attacks and raids from the Mexicans prior to the civil war.

Eventually route 90 rejoins interstate 10, so we left Texas and spent a night in New Mexico. Las Cruses to be specific. Nice community and growing. we are due in Cottonwood, Arizona on the 20th to meet up with friends for Christmas and New Year's, so we didn't spend time here. Maybe next year..... I want to go to Roswel
