<– Day 13 –  Fri. Apr. 24th: We Made it to Texas | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 15 – Sun. Apr. 26th: Parks and Wind –>

2015-04-25-saddleblanket-david

Oh yeah, I can work it!

Our goal for Saturday was to visit multiple odd-ball places in El Paso, then head to the Guadalupe Mountains, before dropping to the town of Alpine. The key to this plan was an early start and an aggressive stop-and-see plan at the oddball locations. However, Texas had other plans for us.

2015-04-25-elpaso-alpine-map

It started 30 seconds from our West El Paso motel. On our way to see Pancho Villa’s finger — yes, downtown at Dave’s Pawnshop is something that resembles Villa’s trigger finger that is for sale, only $9500 — we hit traffic. Since we only had four miles to go, I figured it couldn’t take us too long, right? Wrong. Without any other route options, we were forced to endure stop and go traffic as four lanes dropped to three, three lanes dropped to two, and two lanes dropped to one. One hour later(!!!), we finally made passed the blockage — workers were hanging signs on an overpass. Who knew? We didn’t, at least not in time.

By the time we reached the finger (Ann’s idea) I might have been a little surly. But, it was fun to visit the shop on El Paso Street, a mini-Tijuana that looked like it might be fun to stroll up and down when we didn’t have camera and computer equipment locked in our jeep. So, we passed on exploring the area further, but Ann did get her chance to photograph Pancho’s finger:

2015-04-25-pancho-villa-finger

After getting the finger, we left for another old relic, a 1919 refurbished gas station with non-functioning pumps. Local resident Rod Davenport restored the gas station. Other local residents were so pleased with the result they turned the surrounding area into a small park. It was a neat little place.

1948 & 1946 2WD Wagon Maine Still Available

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Glenn bought these wagons, but yard thieves stole some of the parts.  email him at glenns@tdstelme.net for more information on parts and check out his updated comment in the comment’s section.

“These two wagons are in my neighborhood and I went over to check them out a couple days ago. I’ve known the 1948 Wagon about 3-4 years and the 1946 has been added to the pile for goodies. Make no mistake, this is a basket case PROJECT, but a project with POTENTIAL. This owner was serious when he went into gear. He disassembled everything, bought new parts galore, bought some more just in case, even had some more body sections shipped in to add to the pile. This road ready chassis with rebuilt motor, transmission, and rear end is ALL Done, including rebuilt accessories like starter, generator, water pump, brakes, radiator, POR Coating, and ON & ON. The bodies are a Maine and a NY origin, media blasted, primed and ready for a mig welder to slice and dice the new panels already purchased. There’s plenty here to make a very nice all steel 2 WD Willys Station Wagon with a pile of extras.”

2015-04-24-pistachio

When you are in Tularosa, it is easy to go nuts for pistachios.

Finally, we made it to Texas. Now our trip can start, right? It wasn’t a long day, but if felt good to be back on the road again. Here was our rather short drive:

2015-04-24-tularosa-elpaso

Before we left Tularosa, we made sure to stop by and ham it up in front of the world’s largest pistachio (see pic at top of the post).

From there, we drove south on highway 54 until we saw the magic sign:

2015-04-24-texas-borderOur first and only real stop of the day was at the National Border Patrol Museum. Surprisingly, it is entirely donor based. No federal funding is used to support the museum.

2015-04-24-national-border-patrol-museumInside, the museum is divided into small sections. One area was devoted to Border Patrol vehicles. Another honored those agents that had died. One section explained the history of the Patrol, how it originated, and its evolution over time. It’s a nice little museum that doesn’t take long to explore.

Of course, I was there to see the jeeps. In fact, their 1947 CJ-2A is one of the center-pieces of the vehicle exhibit. The jeep was assembled by volunteers. The front frame rails have more patches than a leftovers quilt. And, the floors aren’t particularly pretty. But, it’s doing the job!
