West Texas
Be sure as you travel thru west Texas to connect Mentone and Orla on a ride. This is some kind of lonliness experience. Like riding through an Edward Hopper painting. When in Mentone be sure to stop in the County Court House and ask for a tour. They will tell you "help yourself". Im not kidding, you see a man is his word in those parts. Loving county, Texas is the least populated county in the United States, so far as i know. All 61 of the countys residents are happy and friendly. Of course once given this trust, you will be on your best behavior etc, etc.
Now, pay attention. As you roam around looking at stuff you will see a 3' x 3' map county map on the wall with many, many little black dots. It looks like a map with black measles. Do NOT look at this map more than a few seconds or so or else you will note every one in the building, work stopped, silent, looking hard at YOU! As soon as you look away, the work resumes, smiles return and the happy office clatter resumes. Most things is polite but looking at the measle map ain't considered good manners. There you have it, in a nutshell.
There is one resturant in town and the lady, owner, waitress, bottle washer is a wealth of information on Loving County, Mentone and the 61 residents. Its a nice ride but do not run out of gas or have a flat. Peace, I hope you enjoy it, I did.
