1384 miles to go... Comstock to Marathon is considered a little rough compared to other parts of the trip... The distance between services being the main reason the humidity has dropped by 20% from Bracettville to Del Rio, I am often asked if i am satisfied with my pregress... Yes and no... Should have been in better shape but if i waited for that i would not be where i am today... It seems like days one thinks they will get 50 miles in they get 20 and the other way around... I allowed about 90 days for completion and had already decided if need be i would finish it next year... Completion this year is possible, may need to buy another bike but... Lol so when i look to the finish i can pysch myself out about going to slow, when i look at the next town or completion of a leg or getting to the next state it is easy to keep things in perspective... Like most things and situations in life... If you would ask me in the hill country of west Texas if it is harder than anticipated i would say h--- yes, ask me in Del Rio and i would say no... I am not a huge partipant in cycling so i have learned a lot there, my lack of knowledge in the sport did not deter me from attempting something i always wanted to do... I knew/know i can pretty much find a solution to an issue eventually... sometimes i get so confused when i see signs like this, i can be fined $3000. In some states for throwing trash out my car window, write my name on a cave wall for as little as $50. did about 42 today... Stopped at Seminole Canyon to camp for the night and take atour of some cave drawings... Very interesting day
Border Patrol... I take back every bad thought i had about those guys, i sure as h--- would not want to be chasing smugglers or anyone else down in this part of the country... Facing the possibility of doing so on a daily basis, not for me... Some might have it easy and sit in the shade but one would be lucky to find a tree big enough to provide shade here...
