Today was mostly uneventful, we left Fort Clark Springs and started riding Texas hill county. Not many major hills today (that starts tomorrow). A few historic markers and we rode into Camp Wood, TX about noon. It seems to be a fairly prosperous small town with fruits and vegetables in the market (gas station) and a few restaurants. We stopped at the cafe and both had the Pattymelt special. Then we started seeing the TDA Global Cycling folks and camped in the same spot (we got a cabin). Again we were invited for dinner and given the food they offer we could not resist (it would have been futile). Dinner was a delicious Spanish mutton stew and salad. I also spent time maintaining my bike and making sure I had my lowest gear working, lots of climbing tomorrow. We also picked up more bagels and fruit for the road. PB&J on bagels is a great road snack. The best thing about the meeting up with the TDA group is the conversation, so many well traveled people.
*My one regret of the day - we were riding along and I was feeling tired when we passed a tree with 10-15 vultures on it and a large carcass nearby. I was 1/4 mile past when I realized how cool a photo it would make. The photographer in me lost and the tired legs won 😕
