The Duke Departs the Duchy

What better way to spend the day then a short jaunt down the highway.  It’s a beautiful morning, fair and sunny, low humidity, 36 degrees.
The Duke gets some fresh air. The Driver gets some practice behind the wheel. Beauregard  gets to run his diesel and the Cook gets to relax.


Our turn-around destination is the Polk County Rest Stop South, on Texas highway 59S. Easy on, easy off. Nice clean rest rooms should you need them.
Beauregard was all alone in the huge parking lot. Except for that State Trooper. Hopefully we look harmless and legal.

The Duke blessed a new trash receptacle…

… and actually yawned on the return trip. His eyelids drooped, and then, finally, he put his head down on the armrest. It was a good day.
