COOLING OFF






Bracketville-CampWood 3/30 49 miles And thankfully the energy returns - Beautiful ride today- starting to enter Texas Hill Country.That desolate brown desert is turning green, with real trees (well shrubby trees) flowering cactus, groundcover everywhere you look is purple verbena and little yellow coneflowers. First sighting of Texas bluebonnets. Crossed the Nueces River 4 miles from the hotel and stopped for a little feet soaking and sun bathing. Met a selfcontained guy going west who stopped at our sag for water and said" oh I heard about this group- they said to approach slowly and carefully"- seemed funny at the time! BIG hills tomorrow.
Back to rider profiles- Sisters Linda (Phoenix) and Lois from PA pictured together on the road and with Lois in the river today. They are a great team and they pull each other through the tough parts
