As we got ready to leave Bastrop this morning we decided to go back into town and get breakfast. We had an early start and so we were going to let someone else do the cooking. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and when we got back to the truck we discovered that we had a flat tire on the trailer. By the time we rounded up some tire, got them mounted and got going it was about 9:45. I rode through more ranch country and across the Brazos & Navasota rivers going into Navasota . Another overcast morning which gave way to a clear and pretty warm afternoon, probably 85. We got into Navasota about 4:30 and had " Churches Chicken". Pretty much KFC without the colonel . As you ride into Texas, you don;'t realize how long it takes to ride out of Texas. It seems to never end. We will head for a very small community called Moss Hill ( name not even on the map) tomorrow and then try to make the Texas-Louisiana line by Sunday night. The warm weather is bothering our Golden Retrievers a little, but other than that things are ok. The wide open spaces of West Texas have given away now to shorter distances between communities. The people are still very friendy and helpful and I hope the same stays true in Louisiana.
Good night Y'ALL
Mike
P.S.
Still have not seen any LONGHORNS
There is a man running from Disney Ca to New York he is getting 40 miles a day. He is on Kelly and Regis daily just went through Alburque NM. and he is running for overweight children. I think you, too, should be on TV with what you're doing.
