El Paso, Texas

We left the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and continued our western trek on Rt 20. After a while, Rt. 20 turns into Rt. 10 and starts a gradual turn to the northwest. We got fuel at a Flying J just after the Rt. 10 intersection and this picture shows how the landscape was changing from flat to some distant mountains. It was getting interesting.

We drove through the very busy city of El Paso, Texas. The city was built in a "bowl" with mountains all around it. Here are a couple of shots from our journey through this area as we pressed onward to New Mexico...
