Long, but reasonably uneventful day. After passing still more pecan orchards and cotton fields being prepared for planting, we crossed the Texas border into El Paso.
Three States Down, Five to Go!
Our destination for Tuesday night was the town park of Sierra Blanca, where we expected to spend the night. With the kind permission of the Sheriff, we pitched our tent and set about cooking our evening meal.
Dinner at Dusk in the Park
A couple (Bill and Cindy) walking their dog stopped to talk and ended up inviting us into their home for a hot shower and ice cream and a very good evening in their company. Bill is a retired county judge, among many other talents, and Cindy is still teaching, with more than 40+ years experience. We hope she doesn't mind the grammar of this blog being less than perfect! What a delight to meet them and experience their hospitality and generosity to VV Young Life.... Penny forgot the camera to take their photo.
We then found further effects from the storm at the Missile Base: Don's air mattress had a hole in it!!! Ground was pretty hard by 2AM. Unfortunately the repair kit got blown away too!
Yours on the Road,
Don and Penny

I hope you get that air mattress fixed soon - long days on a bike seat, followed by nights on a hard ground will not do. Maybe some kind soul will help. Keep on pedaling!!
Awesome. Keep up the good work, DAD!!!
Don, As a fellow biker this is how i take the wind. Strong headwinds are character builders and strong tail winds are confidence builders. Gods speed. Gary & Janet
