Today was an interesting drive. We were mostly on back roads, virtually no traffic. Then we arrived at Orla, TX. This is just a crossroad but must be in the heart of the Permian Basin for oil development. Traffic was horrible, back ups for 1/2 mile or so. Truck after truck carrying pipes and other big equipment. We had planned to fill up with gas and take a break for lunch. We managed to get the gas but no parking. Took us over an hour to go 30 miles due to the traffic. Stop and go, mostly stop.

We arrived at Monahans Sandhills State Park and got settled into our site. Had an hour time change so reset all the clocks. These time changes mess things up. Sunset is an hour later as is sunrise. Just messes me up for a day or so.
