Leaving Alpine, Texas, I visited Fort Stockton, Pecos, and Big Spring. I didn’t shoot photos everywhere but I did shoot a lot of video so don’t miss the videos on YouTube.
Eastbound on I-10 you are greeted by these statues on a hill as you enter town.A common site at the refineries and oil storage facilities in the oil rich Permian Basin.The Road Runner, also known as Paisano Pete, is the mascot for Fort Stockton.Comanche Motel, although run down and in disrepair, appeared to have residents living there.This chicken adorned a home goods store in downtown Fort Stockton.This chicken was in the RV park where I stayed.Moving on to Pecos, Pecos Bill was on display outside the Rodeo Museum.This caboose was on display outside the Rodeo Museum which was housed in the old train depot.Judge Roy Bean office recreation was part of the West of the Pecos Museum highlighted in my video.Boots were the icon for Pecos. They were on every corner and in front of many stores and businesses.Hotel Settles, the historic and very expensive hotel in downtown Big Spring, TX as seen from Big Spring St. Park.
