Texas Tech University | Lubbock, TX

May 20, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

One of Lubbock’s trademarks is its flat land. Whenever it rains, flash flooding is a problem due to poor drainage (again, a product of extremely flat land). If you were unfortunate enough to be caught walking during a shower, expect to get soaked, even with an umbrella. After a few minutes it will feel like you are walking through inches of water. These pictures were taken on a rainy day, thus the fond memories of Lubbock rain.

National Ranching Heritage Center (Exterior) | Lubbock, TX

May 20, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

The center covers a lot of ground; over twenty acres. You can take a mini journey thorough the ranching history of the area by touring restored structures (homes, barns, schoolhouses, etc.). The tour begins with a dirt floor structure, and ends with a modern day structure. It is a walk through time. Some structures are even open for exploration.

West Texas Views | Levelland, TX

May 10, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Levelland is about forty minutes away from Lubbock, TX. This is a nice drive if you want to get out of town for a while (assuming you live in Lubbock). Plenty of fields and sky to admire on the way, and a beautiful park and town square to enjoy when you arrive.

Ghost Town | Fluvanna, TX

May 7, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

I’m a fan of detours on road trips, however, this detour was short lived. I felt uneasy immediately upon entering the town. I’m sure this is due to watching too many “The Hills Have Eyes” movies. Fluvanna is about an hour and a half away from Lubbock, TX. It seems this area was deserted around the 1940’s, after railways were taken over by highways. As far as I can tell, it is still a ghost town.
