Kountze, TX - Mon 3/26

Many miles today.  The weather is clear and warm.

Margo dropped us off in New Waverley on her way to town.  She made us some fresh green juice before we left so we are loaded with vitamins now.

We rode through a lot of Texas forest land and a few small towns.  The terrain was gentle hills or flat so we made good time although we wasted 5 miles on a wrong turning at Coldspring.  After 70 miles we were getting tired so we stopped in Thicket to camp at the RV park.  But it looked deserted and the manager wasn't at the park so we continued on to Kountze and found a motel.

We met at Canadian family biking across the country the other direction.  They had two tandems and two boys aged 11 and 8.

Miles: 94.4  Average: 12.9
