Jasper County

We got started after breakfast and had great country roads. I could hardly believe it - smooth roads, minimal traffic, and no substantial wind. It was a great morning to listen to praise music and sing along. We crossed over into the great state of Texas. We had a nice little picnic outside a church that had a bench on the porch and made plans to visit friends and family as we travel through Texas- so excited!!! We finally saw a cyclist doing the cross country trip as well. He started in San Diego 3 weeks ago. This is his 3rd time doing this and he says we are going the wrong direction for the the wind- confirming what we have figured out. We took more breaks today, that was nice. Fortuitously we stopped at DQ for ice cream before the last 15 miles of hills. We have heard about snow back home but for us it was as you would expect Texas to be- warm and sunny.Read more
