Texas Oil Country: Midland and Odessa
After driving most of the day from Albuquerque to Odessa and Midland, Texas oil country, with a wonderful stop for a Mexican lunch in El Paso, I knew I had a problem when I stopped at an Odessa Motel 6 and saw a sign near the front desk that the rates were $93 a night (compared to the usual Motel 6 rate around $50).
