Day 58 - March 6th - Marathon, TX



Up and away in good time this morning. John and Brenda bid us farewell about 7:30AM. They are headed for Kerrville, TX to meet with a bunch of RV'ers who have been sharing Blog communication. Many of them have not met face to face, but because of the "Blogging" feel that they are already friends. The Browns want to put faces to many of these names, so this seems like a good time to do it when they are all gathered in one place. We were invited to join as well, but since we are rather new to this "Blogging", decided to refrain and get to the somewhat more tropical seascape at Corpus Christi. We left shortly behind them and did the dash through El Paso during "Rush Hour". 40 miles of bumper to bumper, but on the whole not too bad. All traffic was orderly and divers polite. From that point on to Van Horne on I-10, and then down to Marathon it was just miles and miles of miles and miles. Not tooo exciting!!! Very little of West Texas is!! Arrived in Marathon at about 3:00PM and decided to hold up there for the night. Checked into the Marathon Motel and RV Park for $22 for the night. It is very nice done in an Adobe Motif. Oh yes, the train track is nearby - every 1/2 hour
