Our day started out on a sour note – having a flat tire on I-20 and the rental not having the tools to change a tire. After a wait of almost an hour for AAA, we got rolling again toward far southwest Texas. We discussed heading into very remote areas without a spare tire and decided that it was best if we stopped in Odessa and have our flat fixed. After all the delays were taken care of… we finally got rolling toward Fort Stockton and eventually, Alpine. The day ended up on a high note with some nice lightning and a great sunset just south of Alpine. Despite the lack of organized severe storms… we were happy to once again get into some areas that were new to us and have several photo ops. Truth be known, this area of Texas is actually very pretty.
