Today was perfect from beginning to end. It went down to 48 last night so I slept in all my clothes again. The park we were in became quiet and very dark. Everyone slept soundly.
We fixed our coffee and oatmeal and headed out by 7:30. It was cool so we started out wearing leg warmers and jackets. By afternoon it was 110 on the road. Texas is beautiful! Rode much of the way through the Sam Houston National Forrest. It could have been the UP in Michigan. Tall pine trees line the road. Wild flowers continue to awe us. Purple Verbena everywhere. We rode 55 miles today. There was no wind at all! Just perfect! We're getting into hillier country now. But not difficult hills because they are ones that can be ridden fast and run right up the next.
Penny who left our group called to tell us about the B&B she found in the small town of Richards. It's a 80 acre ranch with little cabins, showers, kitchen, laundry , swimming pool. All newly built, perfectly clean. The showers are private beautiful rooms with plush towels, new soap and individual shampoos. We have real beds for $25. We cooked supper in the kitchen and Doris, the owner, brought over fresh eggs for us to cook in the morning. Now this is luxury. I love Texas!
