MCGTTX Day 10

I broke camp and left Corpus Christi HD just after 0600. I rode down to the shore area to eat at the Whataburger that has the founder's statue inside 🤣. There were a lot of homeless around that area, and before I even got off the bike, one was asking me for cash. I never give out cash, and told him I didn't have any, but he could come inside with me and I'd buy him breakfast. He was very happy with that. And he said he was an Air Force vet, so double cool.

I was out of town just at sunrise (0700), but it was completely overcast, so no view 😥. I hit a bit of rain sprinkles for a little while, but nothing significant.

The worst part of today is that I couldn't shake the trucks. Every single road I was on today, there they were being assholes. Even the tiny two-lane back roads. There they were, over the center line because they don't fit in the narrow lanes.

But despite the semis and the farm trucks that also dick around in the left lane, I cruised photo stop after photo stop. It seemed like it would never end (and technically it still hasn't), but I made it a whole lot of miles to this KOA in Rusk, TX, where I figured I'd grab a tent space and bathroom for $25. Of course, I soon discovered that the whole area for the tents and cabins is sand, so after a heart thumping, inch-by-inch, 3-point turn in gravel, I'm camped under the pavilion by the office and bathrooms. I'll be gone before they even realize I was here anyway.

Not a great day, but I made a whole lot of stops.
