Texas Towns

We had a SAG stop in Gail, TX yesterday. By way of reminder a SAG is short for Support and Gear. Our SAG vehicle is an RV with a 14' trailer in tow. The RV is Judy's home on the road (http://www.wheelpower.org/founder.html) and the trailer holds spare parts, a couple bikes, tools, pumps, our luggage and food for our SAG stops. Back to Gail and a little Texas trivia. Gail is smack dab in the middle of Borden County. Turns out it was Gail Borden who invented condensed milk back in 1851. You'll have to "google" Noodle for more Texas trivia, I couldn't pass up the sign :- ).

Our last couple of days in Texas have been long, 97 miles from Lamesa to Roby and today was 91 miles from Roby to Breckenridge but it has been cool to watch the change in color and terrain. We've been riding past cotton fields for two days and today we rode a bridge over the first lake we've seen since California. It's nice to be out of the desert.
Pictures. 1) Sunrise in the Lone Star State. 2) I've always loved climbing things.
