First, we are all well, showered and fed.
Second, we are staying at the Inn at Indian Creek in Burton, Texas. This is a very cool B&B just outside of Burton with three nice and clean cabins, a pond and lots of room to chill and relax. Mr. Kennard Lawrence is the Innkeeper and if you are ever in the area and need a place to stay, you should stay here. Why? For the reasons already listed and because he generously did not charge us for our stay tonight. Incredible! What a blessing. Please check out his website, http://www.innatindiancreek.com/, and stop by for a night or two and let him know you are friends of POPs Ride. Rachel Baderman - another success! Thanks.
Now, on to today's travels. Today we rode through the Sam Houston National Forest. A great surprise and very cool place. We even had to cross a lake. The rest of the day was filled with hills, wind and gusts of wind. There are a lot of very neat ranches in this area.
At one point, we stopped to take a picture of an old grocery store and this pickup passed us. It was going slow around the corner and I noticed it was a state vehicle. The driver worked for the Texas boll weevil education department. Seriously, Texas has a department dedicated to educating people about boll weevils? Sounds like a potential budget slimming opportunity.
Cows. Most of you reading this have probably never passed a heard of cattle (cows) on a bike. I'm here to tell you they watch us. They stop eating and watch us until we are gone. They stop eating and some rubber neck until we are out of site. I wonder what they are thinking. I wonder if they moo to each other and make sarcastic comments about three men riding bikes in spandex. I know we heckle them so am pretty sure they heckle us in cowese. Maybe they hawk some cud at us in disgust as we pass. Who knows - just something I thought about today while riding up and down and up and down and up and up and up.
Today, we thank my Staff at Safeway. We have pretty much decimated the basket and box of goodies you sent. The GSC's are very popular and so is the homemade trail mix. Thanks for everything!
Chickens - not much to say here other than there is a really cool one at the entrance to the Inn. Mom, this rooster is for you. Miss ya.
