If you're traveling west to east across the great state of Texas via Interstate 10, you will cover approximately 878 miles from the point where you enter the state near El Paso until you cross the Sabine river into Louisiana. By the time you reach this rest area, you will have covered approximately 494 miles, so you can take comfort in the fact that you're more than halfway across Texas. If you are ready to call it a day, the city of Kerrville is just a short distance beyond with many motels, restaurants, and friendly folks.
