Got to talking to my son about how far it is from Perryton to Port Isabel. That matchup is possible, you know. Guess which of these towns is closer to Perryton than Port Isabel.

Pierre, South Dakota
Phoenix Arizona
Salt Lake City, Utah
Cheyenne, Wyoming
Lincoln, Nebraska
Des Moines, Iowa
St. Paul, Minnesota
Jackson, Mississippi

The correct answer is all of them!

And people wonder why it is so hard to win state?

Phoenix or Pierre...

Isn't St. Paul (shouldn't be anyway)... Did that trip last summer...

crabman

I got it off a map. St.Paul is almost the same distance, exactly. Perryton is damn near Kansas.

You're right Crabman - Texas IS huge. We went to Casper, WY a little over a year ago. It took us 10 hrs to get to Dumas, then 10 hrs to get to Casper from there. Dang, I thought we'd never get out of Texas. And, it's a long way from here to PI.

I can't remember the exact number, but when you drive into Texas from Louisiana on I-10, one of the first signs you see shows it is (approx) 850 miles to El Paso.

You guys from Orange probably know the exact number.

Mileage marker 880 in Orange County, Texas, is the highest numbered in the nation.

A few years back my parents were house parents in a children's home in Anchorage.

Out of the 37 kids that resided there, not ONE of them was from Alaska. They were all sent there from the lower 48.

No doubt...

Back to the topic...

Have any of you Cuero posters noticed (or anyone who has been to Cuero via 87 South from SA) that right when you reach the Yorktown turn-off it says Cuero is 3 miles away... Then when go over the Guadalupe (like two or three miles later) it says 'Cuero 3 Miles'?

Wow, our miles are even bigger in Texas...
