Texas - day 1 - pictures

"Drive Friendly - The Texas Way" - as observed on 2 lane highway, slower cars would move over and drive on the shoulder to allow other cars to pass without changing lanes. Traffic in Austin, with cross merging on the interstate and access roads is a different story.
....And in case you forget W is from these parts, the sign reminds you.














It was a perfect day for a drive - and like this the entire way














An example of a small town that hwy 79 went through - this one with a center town square to navigate around














Example of something bigger in TX: road sign. Note: a) size relative to street sign on right; b) that it is for a farm road; and c) using the shape of Texas for local roads takes up space and it is not as practical as say the shape use by states such as Colorado or even Alabama.
