Daybreak in
the Texas highlands; little did we know the winds would just about knock
us off our bikes!
The route
we are taking, takes us through small town America. Fort Davis was a very
quaint town along the way.
We should
have known something was up with the winds when we saw all the windmills!
Finally finished
in Marathon; brutal day!
