We had pretty much decided to go over to Carlsbad (it's been ten years since we did the caverns) when we got a late callback from a park in Odessa. It messed up our distances a bit but we stayed there instead of Pecos.
Virtually every RV "park" / gravel lot we saw along the highway is filled up with rigs belonging to oil workers.
Thanks for the suggestions.
