We took a driving break in Odessa, where we walked around a huge Meteor Crater. |
This is an Artist conception of the Meteor Blast that created the crater. |
|
They had an information center that was complete with rest rooms. |
Texas oil wells are all around the crater. |
|
The crater was over 100 feet deep 25,000 years ago, but rain and wind has filled most of it with soil and rocks. |
There were even some tough trees in there.

When we left the Crater site, we stopped to take these pictures at a ranch. |
Our granddaughter Grace loves cows and Michelle loves horses .
|
We raced the Sun to El Paso in my electric car. Gas was only $1.29 in Oklahoma and only a dime higher in Texas.
|
We lost the race with the Sun, even though the speed limits were 75 mph and we were doing 80 most of the way.
