I've done US 90 quite a few times, never seen many vehicles there between Del Rio and Marathon.. gotta plan your gas stops accordingly so fill up in Del Rio and you should be good.Coyote Chris, You hit the nail on the head on several points. I feel that I only just glanced at the lights, but it was enough to get me off course. When I looked at where I was going I was shocked by o see I was headed right off the ramp on the left. I sharply leaned over and got it back on the ramp but in doing so I over corrected and went off the ramp on the right.
You are also correct about taking the back roads. I had considered taking US 90 across and that’s what I should have done. Slower but probably more enjoyable (and safer).
Don't second guess yourself, sometimes things just happen... Every single one of us makes a mistake, if not many, on every single ride we go on... most of the time, that is so inconsequential it doesn't even register in our memory... but the other ones sure do. One that gets me more times than I like is coming up on a car that doesn't have brake lights on and it's turning but also doesn't have any signals on... and I'm just looking around and not focusing in front of me as I should... I'm trying to get better at those but it happens rare enough I don't get the practice so I get surprised... I have learned to try and scan better and not only notice things that are moving but things that are not moving... anyway, enough about my issues lol
