Miles and Miles of Texas

Swan Lake at Surfside Beach

Sauceda took this photo on the first leg of his journey, up the state’s Gulf of Mexico coastline. Texas Monthly first commissioned this project, but its origins can also be traced to a bit of Texas-style bravado. “I was spending a bunch of time in the plane with my instructor, and [at the time] there was a woman named after Amelia Earhart who was intending to fly the same route that Amelia had tried to fly until she disappeared,” he says. “In the aviation world, it was a big deal. I jokingly told my buddy Peter, the flight instructor, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I flew a plane all the way around Texas, and call that the flight around the world?’”
