Another long day on the road today.  In western Texas the view goes out so far that it seems like you can look across the plains and see what the weather will be tomorrow!    

The land continued to be very rocky and very dry, but apparently it can support a sizable number of deer.  Along the roadside we've seen at least 40 deer that didn't make it across, so there must be a lot more out there.

Eventually we reached the end of west Texas, which is El Paso.  There are places here where Highway 10 runs so close to Mexico that you can see across the border, where lots of small houses are stacked up the hillside.  
Out of Texas and into New Mexico; the biggest change was the weather.  A quick shower suddenly turned into sleet.  Fortunately it left just as quickly - one of the main goals of RVing is to avoid cold weather!
