It is 1000 miles across Texas and this trip we have about 400 to cover. Entering Texas is like it was when we entered Florida on the west east trip. It’s bitter sweet in that P&J see the end but don’t want it to end.
P&J got 52 miles in today through some rough roads with no shoulders and no traffic being it’s sunday. They could see the decline in prosperity that they saw in most of Oklahoma just a few miles south of Durant. As they crossed into Texas it became more apparent. P&J commented …

P&J decidedc a day off tomorrow was in order. They have been riding for 8 straight days tkking advantage of the winds and weather. We found a beautiful campground for the two days with
