Day 28: Kerrville to Blanco, Texas

Turkey Vultures West of Blanco

The ride today was idyllic.  It was very, very hot but as long as one didn't stop riding, there was enough air movement to give relief.  For the first time ever on this trip I nearly ran out of water but WEB, one of our SAG drivers, came along in time and we were able to fill up.  Texas Hill Country is pastoral, green and leafy.  We were mostly on local "farm roads" with light traffic.  Altogether a splendid ride.  We are now in a nice state park in Blanco.

I have hope that this ride will continue to improve if only because there are many more roads available.  The roads we used for the first half of the trip were essentially the only roads.  Today I realized that a small New England county probably has several times the paved mileage that one finds in a huge county in the west.

Strange and funny things:

At a scenic overlook there was a very neatly edited sign that read:

"Don't push or shove or pee over cliff.  Campers and swimmers below"

Jet Plane in a Barnyard

"Throne Hinge"

This was a long line of toilets in a field.  A lot of work to be so idiotic.
