Today, Team POP's was down a man. Kyle's body needed a day of rest and so he spent the day in the RV with Les and Mona. We missed him being out there with us but I totally understand the body not cooperating with the mind.
This morning, Bill shared over breakfast we should have a wind from the East. Since we are heading W/NW this is a good thing. Bill also shared we will have a 2000 foot climb about 25 miles from the end of the day. Good News - the weather forecast was correct! Shannon and I were pushed up a slight hill at 18+ mph. Other times we were going along at 20+ mph - boy did that make the miles go by fast!!!!!!
Today was Mona's birthday so we headed into Fort Davis for dinner. We found a place called The Drugstore and Hotel which also had a restaurant. The place wasn't busy and our waiters name was Darryl (of if you are Mona, his name was Derek). He was great. He is playing for a minor league baseball team here in town. We told him it was Mona's birthday and he asked if she wanted a shot of tequila but then said they didn't sell alcohol. So, since they had a soda fountain also someone suggested they do shots of vanilla syrup. A few minutes later, Darryl came over with two shots of vanilla syrup and he and Mona did the shots. Then he brought over shots of Coke as a chaser. It was funny to watch their reactions. I guess it was pretty gross. Then he had some local kids come over and sing happy birthday to her. She was embarrassed but such is life.
We are staying at the Prude Ranch which is a campground and RV park with cabins and bunkhouses. It is pretty neat but everything is really dry here.
Here are a couple of pictures from today.
