Since we started our trip March 7, we've been cycling in the desert.
Today we left the desert of west Texas and are moving to the hill country. I loved cycling through the desert which was surprisingly. I had the misconception that it would be boring and hot. Not the case in March! Everything looked so vast and open and beautiful. I will miss it.
We had a BBQ lunch at Rudy's in Del Rio and did some shopping at Walmart. This is the biggest city we've cycled through since El Paso.
During today's ride we started seeing actual trees and green grass - first trees we have seen since California.
Tonight stay is at the campsite at Ft Clark Springs, an old Calvery base. Now it's a public residential community with campsites, houses, parks, golf courses, swimming pool. We met some residents playing "ringers" who were very interested in our trip.
This place has a lot of history. Wikipedia it.
Tomorrow is another 74 mile ride- then a Rest Day on Wednesday. Yay!!!!
