I woke up well before dawn at the Johnson City Library and headed west.  As I continued into West Texas, the vistas opened up and the terrain transitioned to the semi-arid grasslands of the West.  It felt so good to be back!

A quick photo from the rest stop where I stopped for Shacharis and breakfast:

I continued west to overnight at the Walmart of Demming, New Mexico.  See the trip map for today’s drive.
