starting September 1, if Gov. Rick Perry signs a bill to do away with night and truck (provided car speed limit is above 70 -i.e. 75,80) limits on interstates , truck drivers will be able to go 75 mph day and night, even 80 on I-10,I-20 as well as cars. A first in Texas history, we've come a long way Texas.

Cool. Show us more of your bike, back pack, camp site...you and your adventure are part of the scenery. I used to solo hitch-hike and back pack all over the world in the 70s...great times. Check out a great wanderer of the 1930s desert Southwest by the name of Everett Ruess. Thanks for sharing your trip...it brought back sweet memories to this old timer!
