The current pic of the week is an awesome view. Does anyone know where this highway is located. Maybe Serk can chime in if no one else knows. TIA

Thank you for the kind words, it's one of my all time favorites as well...
That's Highway 54 northbound outta Van Horn, Texas, heading towards Guadalupe National Park, then on to Carlsbad Caverns...
Here's a Google Street view (Wow, they really are going everywhere!) that's very near where the pic was taken:

Thanks, I'm a fan of Texas scenery. I am going to put that road on my list.

That's cool. I was shocked to see the West Texas coverage. They are really getting around!

Been playing with that Google map, went right up Hwy 54 just like you did. Didn't burn a drop of gas. Went back home, same cost. I would venture to say it wasn't anything like your trip. LOL
