La grange-Navasota Tues 4/6 69.5 miles
we are making progress - big scenery change day today- not many signs of the desert left- REAL trees (not scrubby desert trees)everywhere and they have all leafed out. Big giant beautiful oaks- even a bit of hanging moss- yes we are heading to Louisiana. Humidity in the air- rain threatening for the last 3 days. Rolling green country roads. More farms ,fewer ranches but they still look huge. More regular looking cows , fewer Texas longhorns, Brahmas, black Angus and brangus(as if I really knew!!) We met Alva and her husband riding a tandem in the state park 2 days ago. She invited us to her Sabra Ranch (which is on our bike route)for coffee this morning. So here she is at 7:30 am at her ranch gate with a table cloth on her atv, fresh coffee and kolaches! Met another new friend today. Here I am with Mr. Shorty of Round Top, Texas. A delicious surprise of Eli’s carrot cake awaited us in Navasota. It was a perfect end to Linda’s Texas pork/chicken BBQ with fresh strawberries and homemade creme anglais
Lynn , mother of Baby Tennessee (another story for another time), from the Florida Keys is my roommate for our rest day. Here she is in her bank robber pose and in the middle at the Sabra Gate. She ably leads us in yoga on our days off.
