Into Texas











I am going to do a short post and try to load a couple of pictures from my camera and Patty said she will post later on tonight or tomorrow morning and load some pictures from her camera. We both have our cameras along and I know she is taking way more pictures than I am.
With the help of a great west wind I just completed my first two 100 miles days. Came across New Mexico in two days and rode the southernmost road in the state, hwy 9. I could throw a rock into Mexico I was so close a couple of times. The only traffic I saw was Border Patrol and they are really thick. They have little outposts all along the border and they drag the dirt road adjacent to where I was riding to spot any fresh foot prints coming into the U.S.
We are currently in Van Horn TX which is about 100 miles east of El Paso where we stayed last night.
I am finally starting to feel comfortable on the bike, (my butt is not as sore), after a little over 700 miles. My legs are also feeling much better.
I am going to sign off for now and will try to post a couple of pictures.
