| Just entered Texas, kissing the ground (picture requested by my dear friend John L) |
Today we said goodbye to Louisiana and hello to the grand 'ol state of TEXAS via Sabine River! Not only did we finally get to Texas, but we reached 2,000 miles...AND we are over the halfway mark to San Diego! What a day! Yee Haw!

| Approaching Sabine River |
The winds were slight this morning but picked up a bit after lunch. The sun was out and once we hit Texas the roads seemed to go on endlessly. No turns, no (real) hills, just pavement. This might be a theme for the rest of eastern Texas as I've heard that it gets a bit "bumpy" in western Texas. Eek.
My knee felt a bit better today (thank you very much for your help, John) although it was still nagging me at the beginning and very end of the ride. I don't suppose riding 29 days in a row might have anything to do with it?
We are parked in the parking lot of of a Super 8 Hotel...and the manager of the Hotel said we could use the (10') pool which, lucky for me, was a COLD pool (60 degrees) that I could soak my legs in. It reminded me of when I used to soak in the ice bath after volleyball practice in college....ha ha!! But I know it will help!
We road 84 miles today from DeRidder, LA to Kountze, TX. Entered Texas. Broke 2,000 miles. Over halfway to our goal!
