First stop today was Pecos. It is in the Permian Basin which means lots of oil production. The area was bustling with trucks and equipment. There are hundreds of pumping oil wells to be seen from the road. We visited the West of the Pecos Museum. It was interesting. Lots of old stuff, which is what museums are all about.
Next stop was Monahans Sandhills State Park. This is a huge area of active sand dunes. The reason for this stop was Ginny's urge to slide down the dunes, which she did. We had an interesting talk with the ranger. On the way to our hotel I managed to screw up and we had to go five miles down the road in order to turn around. Sometmes my GPS software sends us on a wild goodse chase. I have to be more careful.
