Texas to Las Vegas road trip

I bought a plane ticket to Houston Texas, but could only afford a one-way. I met some nice women that were driving from Houston back to Las Vegas who needed a navigator. I'm pretty good with maps so I offered to join them on their adventure.

Man, these Texans are really proud of Texas.

we stopped at the Davey Crocket Memorial in central Texas. There is an inscription

on this statue that says, "be sure you are right, then go ahead". Crocket wasn't a particularly

loquoacious man, but had a good point. These were the only good climbing trees I saw in Texas.

We stopped in Socorro NM, not much to see there. I hadn't seen any trees for quite a while, so I took a rocket up to try to find some. I thought I found some in Arizona, but I guess I was confused. They weren't trees they were rocks that looked like trees! I stopped at Petrified Forest National Park to get a better look at them. They are all laying on the ground so they really aren't good for climbing, just sitting.
