Jay R. Jordan | www.chron.com

By Ken Hoffman | houston.culturemap.com

He was so right. This part of the trip has huge gaps between service stops with today being the first of three days dictated by the gaps in service. I’m glad I made it here, though tomorrow will be another long day to reach Sanderson.
There really isn’t to much to report on today, though a …
