We bid adieu to family and drove 118 miles west from Spicewood to Junction, TX, through the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country with its scrubby bushes and wide open spaces. There we saw a variety of roadkill: 7 deer, 2 skunks, 3 raccoons, 1 armadillo, 1 porcupine, 1 opossum and many more critters that were unidentifiable bits of fur, etc. (I’ll spare you the gory details).
We appreciate the familiarity of the wide open spaces of the West. It feels like home.
