The Long Road North

This is Bible Belt and driving north on a Sunday you may be the only moving traffic in miles. Texas is biiiig; there is a lot of driving.

We stop of at Abiliene where there is a really good museum telling the frontier story. The death of the bison and the cattle ranching that replaced them Abilene was the stat point of the Goodnight LovingTrail aptly named because as at one point there was no water for 80 miles so the drover's drove through the night literally sleeping in their saddles.

 Inside the museum there are holograms of actors recreating key people in the story from native americans through buffalo hunters to trailblazers. You could easily spend several hours there but we only had a couple and had to move on.
The museum is a modern building with "prairie planting" outside

 and some buffalo wind-vanes

.It was really windy although not as bad as east Texas the day before which had had 3 tornadoes nor the west pan-handle which had snow. The only other building of note appeared to be a grain silo.
