I've never been to Fort Stockton. I've been to Pecos 3 X (once 2004 on the way home to the dorm at TX TECH from Big Bend...on that trip we skirted the edge of FS on I-10) (again to Pecos in 2006 for The West of the Pecos Museum but filled up only camera I had at The Roy Orbison Museum in Wink) & then again to Pecos in 2008 with my digital camera at The West of the Pecos Museum.

I am returning to Pecos for Alfredo's Mexican Restaurant (which I missed last time b/c I had to eat at Burger Builders Drive-In in Hobbs en route to free lodging at a friend's apt. in Lubbock then back to Dallas. Dallas/West of the Pecos Museum in Pecos Part 2/Hobbs/Lubbock & back to Dallas again was 'only' 1,100 miles in 2 days in my friend's Toyota Tacoma!) then after Alfredo's we're going to my friend's apt. in Lubbock for more free lodging then going back home to Dallas.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Are you sure all those places are worth the drive?

Yes, I think they are worth it (at least in the sense of quirky shock value!!). I've added the U.S. Border Patrol Museum in El Paso b/c my friend Derek & I have never been there.

He's been to El Paso maybe twice & I've only been to EP Airport on the way to Vegas back in 2001.

thanks for your post & talk to you soon!!

It would be worth it to me, even without the restaurants. But I like to travel, and I like West Texas. All that stuff sounds fascinating to me. Have fun!
