Gosh I haven't been to Texas in forever. It would be cool to visit again. Ohh, the beach there is that bad?
Oh cool, driving at night would bring a different perspective... It would be cool to see the lit up cities. Or the night sky, especially in more open areas. I like traveling during the day though, especially if you're going through mountains. The view can be so awesome.![]()
Well, its not THAT bad, but its....... not good either. Id take you to some of the nicer spots if you wanted to swim..... but..... mostly its just the locals landfil and dump. Of course you wont see this on any travel brochure.
The waves are a joke, the sand is gross looking although part of its looking nasty is due to river run off into the gulf of mexico. So, unlike the pristine beaches elsewhere, you have river sediment mixing with what is the normal sand of other beaches and you get a brown...... muck.
The other stuff that the locals and tourists do to it doesn't help any. If California or Florida is the paradise of beaches. Galveston is Chernobyl.
It can look okay-good in some places if you know where to go, but over all...... not so much.
Luckily there are other places to have fun around here.
Well, I wouldn't worry about missing the view of the mountains while driving at night as, that would be one of the places I would have the whim to stick around for. I've loved the mountains since I went to San Diego in my early 20s.... since then...

Yeah, I might miss some scenery at night, but if its scenery Id wanna stick around for and see, Id know it by the night drive.
However, I think if I hit New Mexico and had the money and time. Id likely get a horse and simply ride the trails of the old west like that of Billy the Kid and others. Simply park my many horse powers and calmy accept one HP til I got back. (Yeah, I know city boy on a horse. Im not GOOD at it, however I have rode one before so I already know what to expect.)
Then Id spend about a week showering after all the dirt and all..... then get back in my car and drive to the next spot.
