It's Time Again

To play "Guess what skyline." As usual, since I'm piloting a large vehicle in traffic, the pictures are less than optimal.....


This would be the eastern part of the metroplex - there are actually two cities adjoined here - on an east-west axis.



This would be the western "half." Both pics are looking west. It had been a while since I'd been on this particular interstate, but they've added flexible HOV lanes. Wish I'd got pictures of the jointed jersey barriers and the machines that move them from lane to lane - but I wasn't aware of what I was seeing until googling on Algore's innertubes gave me the answer. So, that's a hint about where these were taken.


You'll definitely have to click for larger to see the dinosaur on the hill - this is just south of Canadian, TX on US 83.


Then, we have several stunt planes being washed and prepped for the day (at an airport that needed a new avgas storage tank). Oh, wait, these are ag air applicators. Same difference. Have you ever seen these guys fly?

Ooooh. I love this game. And I do route myself through the Texas panhandle whenever I can. Is it the Amarillo area?

You are in the right state! Think "two cities" to the southeast of Amarillo.

Think "America's Team" and Mark Cuban! Stockyards!

Home of the Texas RAngers? Arlington/Fort Worth? We are giving those boys such as pansy-ass San Francisco beat down!

Close enough - Dallas/Ft. Worth or DFW.

Dang, I was gonna say Dallas Ft Worth! Never been there, but it sounded right.
