US 380

The first leg of the journey was to drive to Dallas to meet Jeremy as he arrived from the UK.  Easy, right?  Turn east at the Owl Bar in San Antonio and continue to Dallas, about 550 miles.  Straight, flat, hot and scenic to the Texas line.  Once I reached Texas, the road was straight, flat hot and green.  I drove through about a hundred miles of cotton fields until I reached Post, Texas where I planned to stop for the night.  Tommie and Steve warned me about the RV park in Post.  It's right between the railroad track and the busy highway connecting I-40 and I-20.  I got the camper set up and then was ready for a cold beverage.  At the grocery store I was informed that beer was sold in a liquor store but since Post was in dry county, I would have to drive across the RR tracks to the other precinct which was not dry.  How can a county be dry but one precinct be wet?  The politics of alcohol in Texas.  I could stand on the running board of the pickup and be the highest point in West Texas as you can see from the photos.
