Hey yall, yalls are down heah in Texas, and had a great 72 mile ride here. We headed out of VanHorn a dusty, dry and terrible food town. We had a head wind for the first 20 miles.. Then we turned off the frontage road. And voila, the wind got better. We really enjoyed todays ride. The scenery got significantly better. No dust flying everywhere. And actually live plants. Greenery. I told Lola, the only thing that would make this any better. Was if we saw a bunch of cowboys, rustling up cattle. So, we were on a mission to rustle us up some real cowboys. (joke!!) LOL...Well, about 7 miles after. There they were, rustling up cattle. And branding them. Life is Goood!!! I mooed at the herd of cows and pretty soon , I had an orchestra of moos. We were having fun. Saw my first Javalina. It was fresh road kill. But it was as big as a calf. The first 50ish miles we had gradual climbs. At about 6000 feet, we stopped and had our daily picnic, this time only bagels, guacamole and salsa. Van Horn had only one market and no real edible food. Absolutely, no turkey. We continued after lunch and had the really steep climbs of the day. We were at over 8000 ft. And getting a little lightheaded. Air felt thin.. We saw the Davis observatories. Then continued on. We arrived in Fort Davis, at a good hour. We found the most adorable Texas style inn. With red rocking chairs lined up on the entire porch.
Well yall, thats all for today. Yalls are pretty tired cowgirls, so thats all folks. We got lucky, we did not expect to have internet here.
Yall's kape the cowments and messages comin we luv hearin from yalls, thats the way we tawk down heah in Texas... Lola is very happy. We are basically done with all our climbing for the trip. From now on, smooth sailing ahead. Lola's forte. Flats and downs.
Tailwinds,
