‘Excitement On a Well Beaten Path’ Southern Tier East to West
By S. Crocker | www.crazyguyonabike.com
Navasota TX – Burton TX: Yegua Creek Park Tuesday May 9, 2023 Packed up and shipped out to an even more grey morning than previous days.
I got caught in a thunderstorm and hid under a tree to get out of the wind and lightning. When the rain let up a bit, I hit the road again. Then I saw two giant lightning bolts hit the ground in the direction I was traveling and I said nope. I dove under the cover of a (closed) store at Weiss for a couple hours. While killing time waiting for the rain to pass, I researched into my destinations and found that nothing within my range is a viable option. (Closed, or crazy expensive) So I cut today extremely short and stopped in at Yagua park. Nice place managed by the Corps of Engineers.
