This time we're attempting to complete our journey from Longview to Lufkin...
But there's a police car in the way.
As I edged slowly ever closer, hoping to gently nudge him out of the way, I saw that he was eating something held in greasy paper in one hand, and watching a Jeff Favignano trucking vid on his mobile in the other. Suddenly he looked up to see me staring down at him, his eyes met mine, he started his engine and very slowly backed away just enough to let me through, before returning to his vid. What a champ.
Soon after we arrived at an unmarked, unnamed settlement.
It seems quite large, so I though the name might be written somewhere. Perhaps the name is on the water tower? Nope.
The church? Nope.
Ah, there it is: Tenaha. Checked it out and it checks out.
We pass the local woodyard as I congratulate myself on my detective-like powers.
Moving on now. Lufkin lies ahead.
And here we are, back in Lufkin for the last time.
Local zoo. No animals to be seen, sadly.
Steel things to deliver, but where?
Kurthes, kurthes, I lisped, craning my neck to find a delivery point.
Ah yes, here it is. A road construction site. I've brought you a veritable Avalanche of Steel Things, enjoy.
A last few views of Lufkin, then. The old train-crossing-the-roads-at-an-angle thing never gets old.
That garbage collection simulator DLC is inching ever closer.
Time for a penultimate repaint and modification.
Very fancy.
Still seeing new things in Lufkin. Next time - southwards from Lufkin to Beaumont, or rather through it to a southern part of Houston.
