On the way to Hobbs, usually 7h driving from Dallas, we got stuck in a snow storm, so it took us about 13h to make the trip! It was fun though, we had some great company :)
It gets some use to checking for scorpions in your shoes every day but we really liked it and the Lins are amazing cooks! It was a great Christmas even though we missed you all.
It's starting to snow right outside of Fort Worth
Finally over! It doesn't look like much but there were some strong winds and there are no snow plows (chasse neige) in Texas.
Lots of wreackage, cars and trucks in the ditch
Lani, Jay and Marina at a little diner in Eastland. We had just learned that the I-20 was being closed, we got pretty lucky we didn't have to sleep in the car!

We didn't get to see the bats since they migrate to south america during the winter, they won't be back before march.
Welcome to Hobbs!
