[Drive Log] The Beginning - Part 2

The following day (please refer to previous post), we left McAllen. It was a surprisingly beautiful day in South Texas. This time though I was in the passenger seat, so I got the chance to take photos of the scenery, or lack thereof, along the way. 


Along Highway 186




Raymondville, TX



Along US Route 77



We found this nice location at the junction of  FM 70 and Co Rd 45/US Hwy 286





En route to the beach on US Hwy 361



Mustang Island State Park






Some unfortunate bugs we collected along the way



Odometer after 36 hours from the lot


The first 993 miles of this were pure joy. Although it is an SUV, and has a "truck" designation on the license plate, it did not feel like one. It feels like a Mazda 3 that has grown a size larger, whatever that means. Fun driving, definitely.
