Moved to Houston the right way from San Diego
I just took the 4 day route here (not touching I-10.)
Took a few dirt roads thru Southern Arizona into Tombstone, Az. Then a wash up to I-10. After getting into El Paso got south of I-10 & took a dirt road into Van Horn. There along side Hwy 90 had a dirt road beside Hwy 90 from Alpine to Del Rio. Pretty impressed with the Baja terrain in West Texas from town to town. Ups & downs with quick turns & lots of jumps with the WTF big dips bottoming out plenty of times. Then road would go off following the train tracks back in the wilderness. Over 300 miles of Baja style terrain just in Texas.
What made this trip even more insane was the 8" of snow & 25mph winds. That the Weather Channel did not tell me about 2 days before leaving. I heard I-10 was closed & looking over on hwy 90 it was iced over with no plows. My snow trail was smooth & no issues. Actually safer than the hwy.
So, I just moved to Houston (Spring) today & will be looking for some wheeling buddies to take some trips towards Austin & other crawling areas. BTW-Any real fab guys or off road racers around here? Hoping to start building another race truck & keep racing SCORE races & maybe start racing the Texas Desert Racing races.
Woke up in El Paso to snow????
About to head off down a wash on the border of Mexico. Its snowing in mainland Mex...
I had to put the complete top on & then stuff dirty underwear & shirts behind my head to keep the freezing 25mph winds out of the Jeep.
Hwy 90 pretty dangerous
