No offense to Texas but really after Missouri anything else was a forgettable relief. That said, Texas was memorable (after some thought) for a few things.
The wind - I stopped at the first rest stop in Texas and was literally blown onto my knees. It wasn't evil or mean it was just there with a force I hadn't experienced before.
The legs (see below) apparently are warred over - socks on socks off - I was there when the huge legs were clothed. The rancher responsible for the land (who shook my hand and asked very seriously if I had come all the way from Massachusetts to see the legs) disclaimed any knowledge to when the legs had shown up and who was responsible for the socks/not socks. He did agree with me that the historical marker near the legs which had a poem by Mary Shelley had nothing to do with the sock.
The caddilacs (see below) were the only place I found other people photographing. The caddys are world famous and right on the side of the highway - hard to miss.
The combines on the other hand are off a couple different side roads and took me an hour of driving in circles to find.
One is left to wonder what Texan farmers will plant next.

...Cadillac, Cadillac
long and dark,
shiny and black
Open up your engines let 'em roar,
tearing up the highway like a big
ol' dinosaur...
