Del Rio, TX - Wed 3/14

Texas is really big with ranches that go on forever.  Today was a long succession of short, steep hills.  We had a strong headwind in the morning and a weak headwind in the afternoon.  The scrub brush gradually became greener until we crossed the Pecos River and came to the Amistad Reservoir.  The sight of all that water after a month of traveling through the desert was glorious!  But the headwind wore us out by the time we arrived in Del Rio.

We saw a few sheep and goats.  We baa and they look.  It's something to do.

The bike was squeaking pretty badly so we went straight to a bike shop and got it checked out and lubricated.  It didn't seem to be anything serious.

Miles: 67.1  Average: 8.1

The truth from Ruth:  The scenery at the Pecos River was beautiful.  I wish we could have taken a photo, but we were on a bridge without a shoulder and didn't want to stop.  The Amistad National Park is gorgeous too.  I'd like to come back and spend more time here.  Are we still in west Texas?
