Driving Across Texas: TX 55 & US 277 Camp Wood to Sonora

This drive begins my long journey across the somewhat flat and boring Texas Landscape. It begins in Camp Wood, Texas, on the edge of the hill country, then heads northwest, passing through Rocksprings, then meeting up with US 277 for the drive to Interstate 10 at Sonora, Texas.

dunno if i would consider Texas flat . i mean how many other states have elevation changes of -5 ft & sea level to 9k feet AMSL ? not to many. this video was far from a boring landscape enjoyed it .

@ScrewdUPClickV2 very true... there were more hills than I expected, even in the "flat" parts... and I climbed to the top of Guadalupe Peak, so I really should know better!

Meant to say 'will never drive at night again'. :p

Thanks much; miss driving out this way - used to do it three times a month on my merch route: "....hysterical marker...draw...draw..ooo! rabbit!...draw..hysterical marker..." It really is serene, beautiful, peaceful and the town stops are fun.

Damn, they're STILL doing road work out there??

If you get a chance, ask at the Shell, Texaco or the DQ in Sonora about the lady that wanders that stretch of 277 after dark. I had to do it once - never. again.

Thanks again for sharing yet another great video of the Hill Country. Personally though, after having done the the Leakey to Camp Wood segment on the last trip, I would've known better than to label the Texas landscape as "flat and boring". That section was anything but, at least from what I saw. I dare anyone to go to sleep on that stretch!

Been to both, Texas definitely isn't like either, but I guess you have to live here to appreciate it...

Texas is flat. Sorry but it is flat and boring. Go to California or Colorado then come back to Texas and you will understand.

Great video by the way**

I hate when people call Texas flat! Take a drive down TX-163, US 277 to Del Rio, Ranch Road 170, or any Hill Country road. None of these are flat, I mean North Texas is flatter, and the Panhandle, but that's not the entire state.. Go to Big Bend! Texas is a beautiful state.

Those USA roads are straights and couple of corners. In Poland on that kind of road everyone would be driving with about 70, 75 mph (100, 110 km/h) :))

Thx 4 video.
