We saw a real live, legitimate cowboy wrangling some steer. Here’s a few images from our drive near Turkey, Midway, and Quitaque.


One of my favorites was a little town called Turkey, Texas (fun story – I found out later that PETA petitioned the town to rename themselves Tofurkey). I loved just watching the sights around us as we drove through these places. When you drive for seven hours, and still are in Texas… that’s when you actually feel the distance! This country is massive, and you just don’t feel that when you take a two or three hour plane ride to get somewhere. That’s where we felt the difference of growing up in southern California in large cities. On back roads, through small towns, through deserts, cornfields, and cattle grazing pastures. The best parts of our road trip were the hours (and hours and hours and hours) we spent just driving.
