I would go for that trip, check your route ahead of time and enjoy the cool weather....everyone in Texas deserves this break. We lost 800 acres of our ranch to wildfires.. just south of Sweetwater Texas, not far from you. Everyone we have talk to has said, well with a good rain, it will all come back. Not...we lost oak trees that were over a hundred years old, and we found that the roots of the grass in a large section of the ranch were burned and will not come back. Our cattle were spared, thank God. But other ranchers lost all of their livestock. Guess where we will be Labor Day....still cleaning up from the fire. Wish we were planning a fall trip, if nothing, to see water and beautiful foliage...that would be refreshing.
