Day 10 - Big Bend Texas

Wow this park is huge ;), I will camp here tonight but for now I will post some pictures from part of it.
It's so hard to stay at 45mph after pushing 80 at similar roads lol
cheers

Day 9 - 320 miles

Well its starting to be the same thing in the morning: get up, pack up, drink some crappy coffee lol.
The plan today was to ride to Marathon TX where I've made reservations in a little to expensive hotel but so be it, its still under standard Holiday inn or similar so I'll live with it.
Riding in a dessert was a totally new experience for me and I must say that I like it and maybe what helped was an overcast in most places so the temperature stayed on the low 80's, not to bad.
Rt 90 its interesting to ride with scenery changing from time to time and tons of border patrol around, I was stopped once on one of the routine check points, no biggie and they were nice and professional.
Big Bend tomorrow where I will camp for at least one night.

cheers

Day 8 - 30 miles :P

Just riding around San Antonio, stop by at Cycle Gear to pick up new camelbak and AAA to get another set of International DL's just in case.
Damn it was hot today, impossible to ride with windshield up.
Tomorrow I will ride up to Marathon where I will stay over night and next hit the Big Bend park
Cheers
