While speeding down the highway on my way home after a longer-than-it-shoudl’ve-been type of shift, I spotted this truck, loaded to the brim (and beyond) with all manner of bric-a-brac, and decided to snap a couple of shots of it through the window.

After an early morning photowalk around town and a nice breakfast with Momma, I pulled out of Marfa around 9am and drove north to Balmorhea (and the wildly underwhelming Balmorhea State Park, with its artesian spring-fed swimming pool that was ‘closed until further notice’ and RV-friendly campsites), then back south through Fort Davis and the …
