Montana Trip - Day 20

[slept OK, although the nearly hourly trains that blow their horns outside the window made it hard - if I could, I'd send a blank post card to my friend Red in Shawshank Prison, to let him know I'd made it... - spent the morning on emails and finances - it is time to start a new job search, I guess (headed back to Fort Worth) - drove down to the US-Mexican border this morning (0845L) - crossing not busy: thought about going across - dead "downtown" - drove up to the next town and then got back on I-10 - drove to Van Horn (McDonalds for lunch) - raining almost all day - time change (finally back in Central...) - changed to I-20 - gas in Pecos - more rain - continued east - stopped in Eastland, Texas, for gas and a Dairy Queen Blizzard - no longer raining (too bad for north Texas...) - made good time: back in Fort Worth around 1930L - drove over to watch the girls playing volleyball at St. Georges (near downtown) - back at our house around 2200L]
