1000 Miles

Today we hit the 1000 mile Mark on our trip. To celebrate I did a little jig around my bicycle and John videoed it and put it on You Tube so my reputation and my dignity are all gone. If you would like to watch it search on You Tube for “The Dee Duke 1000 mile jig”. We only rode 33 miles today because there are no camping sites, Warm Shower  hosts, or Motels for the next 90 miles. That means we get to ride 90 miles tomorrow and about 70 miles of it is uphill, some quite steep.so it is going to be a very , very hard day of biking. We will be going through the Davis Mountains and will hit 6,200 feet elevation and then down into camp at Fort Davis, Texas.  Today was mostly flat with very little traffic and short. We left later than normal at 9 am and  still made it to camp before 1 pm. We are camped tonight in Van Horn. Today there was a lot of people in cars and trucks that were very friendly to us. They would honk and wave, and one stopped beside us while we were stopped for a break and chatted with us. I forgot to put sunscreen on a couple days ago and I sunburned my nose pretty good. Now it is peeling, and the skin cracked and bleeds and I look like I have been in a fight with Patty and lost. I will try not to forget again.
