On The Road(s) To San Angelo :: Sept 30 ’15

After taking a five-month blogging hiatus to see what life in Utah is like (it’s prrretty good!), maybe it’s about time to get into a little driving, from Austin up to Park City in a gently used Santa Fe that just might be a good car for a snowy, mountainous winter. As usual, let’s stick to the two-laners.

It’s just about 240 miles to the city known as the Oasis of West Texas and the Mohair and Wool Capital of the World.
