We left Decatur, Texas, at 9:30. Before long, we were on an adventure. Translated that means we had missed our turn. We decided to follow through with it, and we are glad we did.
We had never been in that area, and just before getting on I-35, we saw Texas Motor Speedway. We’ve seen it on TV several times when NASCAR has raced there. Today we got a better view of its size. It is huge!
I-35 took us to I-20 which took us to In-N-Out...for an early lunch. It was great, as usual. That was visit number 24 in 2014 (If I have counted correctly.) Yum, yum!
As traffic goes, we have seen it much more congested in the Fort Worth/Dallas area than it was today. It is always a relief to get on the east side of that mass of humanity.
In Longview, we parked at Walmart. We have parked here on several other occasions. We park right next to a railroad track. It is a different kind of train, as trains go. It may have 40 or 50 cars attached to it. It goes very slowly, blocking the main road through town. Soon after going past and traffic resumes, it backs up, repeating the whole traffic snag again. This may happen several times an afternoon and night while we are parked here. Each time we have been here, it is the same pattern.
We traveled 212 miles today. Not very many miles, but tiring, just the same.
