Harvey would have ended up there too, if that blocking pattern hadn't doubled it back onto to SE Houston again and turned it North.
That said if you like space, like lots and lots and lots of room, and don't particularly care for people cluttering up said space then West Texas is indeed a great place. I mean that in all seriousness.
Have you been to a truck stop or restaurant in Pecos lately? Literally the worst of both worlds.That said if you like space, like lots and lots and lots of room, and don't particularly care for people cluttering up said space then West Texas is indeed a great place. I mean that in all seriousness.

I do enjoy a drive across West Texas and other places like it. I would enjoy it more, however, if the Fort Stockton and Pecos superchargers were built and the existing superchargers functioned better.
The oil boom isn't doing me any good!What's good about Pecos --
Very strong local economy due to West Texas oil boom.
West Texas is a big area. Don't conflate it with The Permian Basin which is one area. Big Bend and El Paso are west Texas but aren't oil boom areas.Doesn't everyone love the smell of oil in the air in West Texas? I don't see that aspect getting adequate praise.

Photos were posted here a few pages backSorry to derail the West Texas bashing.
Construction has begun on Fort Stockton. Somebody from Central Texas group called over to a Flying J there and got this in response,
"I started to ask those traveling through El Paso will look for signs of construction. Then it occurred to me I could just call the Flying J - not expecting the person who answered the phone to know anything. She did and confirmed it is under construction. She referred me to the manager who also confirmed construction and seemed excited about getting more customers. Initially, he would not hazard a guess about completion time but then said he was impressed at how fast they were moving and said they might be done in a week. Take that with a grain of salt but it looks good for 26 Oct"
If you know anybody going through the area, have them report back!
