The Delicious slowness of West Texas Under Your Skin
The Community - West Texas - Abilene, TX and Odessa, TX and San Angelo, TX
Welcome to the land of wide-open spaces. Along I-10 there's not much to look at - just scrub brush and lots of sky - but dip below the interstate and you'll encounter vistas every bit as captivating as they are endless. Sometimes the rugged terrain looks like the backdrop in an old Western movie; then it suddenly turns into an alien landscape, with huge rock formations erupting out of the desert. Exploring an enormous national park that's nearly the size of Rhode Island. Stopping in small towns that will surprise you with minimalist art, planet-watching parties or fascinating ghost-town ruins. Checking out the latest microbreweries. Chatting with friendly locals whenever the mood strikes you. And letting the delicious slowness of West Texas get thoroughly under your skin.
