Houston - Leakey - Houston
878 miles
Via 90A / 90 and the wonderful Texas Hill Country roads

After leaving Deb and Dale at D'Rose, it was a wonderful ride home, punctuated by a low flying F-16, which blew right over my head, making me think that my co-workers would soon be confronted with the Mack-truck theory.  The rest of the ride was actually hard on me.  It was cold, but more than anything, I kept being hit by crosswinds.  At some point I felt my head was about to fall off.  The only relief cam from a short stretch of road where I was riding next to a train.

  • Where?

It was a wonderful three days. Like many brilliant spots in life, this was an unplanned trip that came together within 2 days of my departure.  All I can say is that I am blessed for having been able to do this.
