Texas, big sky, big land, big everything



I've always heard everything is bigger in Texas. We saw billboards all the way to Amarillo advertising a restaurant that sells a 72 ounce steak. Imagine, that's 4 1/2 pounds of meat. The best part is, if you can eat it all in less than an hour your meal is free.
And Texas also sports the largest cross in the hemisphere.

Texas is land and sky that stretches on to forever. Immediately on crossing the state line the soil changed from red to sandy brown. How can that be?
Houses are miles apart. Who owns all that land?
Heading down the road I was quite taken with seeing a corridor of wind turbines. Miles and miles of them. These areas of turbines are called wind farms. Texan wind farms produce the most wind power of any state in the US and Roscoe Wind Farm in Texas is the largest wind farm in the world.Tex
