Did a self tour of Carlsbad Caverns on the way back this morning. Made it east of Houston, will sleep a bit late.
In Houston even the cheap rooms aren't cheap. A Motel 6 for 2 is $66 and wifi is another $3, so we kept going for a while. Figured I might as well get the city well behind us & then get screwed on the room.

Stu, Too bad I didn't know you were pushing that far or I would have directed you to Breau Bridge, LA...Great motel there and not too far away is one of the best 'out of the way' Cajun restaurants with a great band and dance floor...Spent a few nights there over the years...

Getting home was a lot faster for some reason, ...There have been many times that I've compared myself to a horse my uncle used to have and I rode...We could spend all day poking around the farm, but when it was time to head in, that horse had no brakes and it was hang on time... I used to be the same way on motorcycle or car trips...

I actually love TX. The only thing I really don't like is the lack of public lands, but that's rooted in history & that bell won't be un-wrung LOL

actually Stu, East Texas has public land. It just has a lot of traffic. We have learned to share. After deer season you pretty much have the run of these areas for coyotes. Cats are there also..
I live in about 180,000 acre National forrest. One hour of driving can put me in two other national forrests as well. While some of it needs type II permits it is accessible.

yeah, there's some, but it may well be the worst state overall in that regard.
