East of the Pecos, Texas Hill Country

We're having a pretty dawn breakfast in advance of today's 70 mile ride to some other tiny Texas town.  Having crossed the beautiful Pecos River, we will be seeing more greenery and more, larger towns.  We rode 80 miles yesterday and passes on 1 store in Langtry Texas.  Its not like we were on a rural road, we were on Texas Highway 90.

In a few days, we'll be hitting the halfway point of the trip.

Tonight we are at Ft Clark.  It was formerly a cavalry post, but was closed after WWII. Patton, Lee, Grant, and McArthur all served here.  It is now private property and serves as a retirement community.

We spotted a bbeautiful, scarlet tanager who keeps swooping around our dinner spot.  There was not a lot of scenery today, but we had a great lunch at Rudy's in Del Rio.  

Tomorrow night we stay in a spot called Con can, which is rumored to be very beautiful.  Wednesday is also a day off.
