Into Texas, through El Paso, by the Mexican border

           

Texas:                                                                          

We stayed in Van Horn, in a large parking lot behind the McDonalds, along with a lot of other trucks for the evening.                      

We could see this blimp, below picture, for quite a few miles. We were thinking it might be a weather balloon, but found out that it’s a blimp surveillance system to help patrol the border. On the second picture we can see the “tether” to keep it grounded.

 
                       

This took us to Bend Bend Ranch State Park, which will be my next post.
