Ector County, Texas
Ector County is out in West Texas, where the Permian Basin stretches wide. Odessa is the heart of it all. It’s an oil county with pump jacks across the landscape. They’re like mechanical praying mantises.
It’s boom or bust here, always has been. The county has grit. These are tough folks who know how to weather the storms. And I’m not just talking dust storms, though those can be fierce.
Football is religion in these parts. Permian High’s legacy looms large. It’s not all oil, though. There’s ranching too and a growing medical sector. The sunsets? Spectacular. It’s a place that gets in your blood.
