some more of the Texas story
In September of 2007 we traveled to Canyon Texas via a
circuitous route. We went via by Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Roswell, New Mexico and
the eastern plains of
New Mexico on
our way to the Texas Panhandle! Believe it or not, that is not the
straighest route from Sheffield to the Panhandle. We bypassed Lamesa on
the way north. These blooms were photographed in Palo
Duro Canyon near Canyon and Amarillo in the
Texas Panhandle. The Panhandle is a very different region of the state
indeed. After the serendipitous experience of being stuck at the
New Mexico State Fair, our travel took us from Roswell
northeast to Clovis, Portales, and on to Canyon Texas (near Amarillo.
After two nights in Canyon, we returned south
to the Permian Basin. On this trip we witnessed seemingly endless
portions of the southern plains. I was very impressed with Herford
Texas, Canyon Texas, including Palo Duro Canyon State Park, and Happy
Texas.
Look soon
for pages celebrating the Texas Panhandle Region.TEXAS HUNTING & FISHING
Whitetail deer live in all regions of Texas although whitetails are scarcer in the more arid parts of West Texas, especially the where Mule Deer predominate (i.e. the lower elevations of the Chihuahuan Desert). Although whitetails are numerous in the counties comprising the Edward's Plateau including Crockett Co., parts of Terrell County, and eastern Pecos County, they become less numerous to the south and west. I learned something researching this article. Whitetail deer and mule deer sometimes interbreed where their ranges overlap. For a little bit more about this see Texas Hunting and Fishing.
