Halfway, I think and variable winds: Carmine to Bastrop
Friday April 14, 2023, 62 miles (100 km) – Total so far: 1,503 miles (2,419 km) It is now Saturday, 4/15 and I am taking a day off. Here’s the write-up for yesterday and since I have time, I can write a bit more.
This was a 50/50 day. First half was tough with terrible roads and the second half had great roads. I am
I slept well at the Round Top RV campground in Carmine. They had one of the best tent pads I have ever set my tent on and I might suggest over similar campgrounds take notice. They had a piece of astroturf as the tent pad. I just had to move off a little debris and I was rewarded with a nice smooth and somewhat cushioned pad. I am sleeping really well in the tent on this trip and find it quite homey. I am glad that I slept better, because I was really tired from the previous day.

I haad that and some orange juice and was off down the road. I had read that route 237 for the morning portion was not that great and it lived up to its reputation.
For some reason today I was aggitated about everything. I was …

Got a 1st flat at mile 30, thanks to @sherm for CO2. then slow air leak at my rear after mile 60, used a hand pump. Overall it was a good and hot day. Ran out of water at mile 90, thanks to garden hose at mile 93. That saved me.
