Fort Davis, Texas

90 miles today, 1151 miles down. Interstate, border Patrol, and stellar observatories. What a day. The Border Patrol stopped us several times and told us to hurry along , ride in groups, don’t talk to strangers, etc. Then we got on I-10 for miles.

After that we climbed to the second highest peak in Texas to the McDonald Observatory. At one time it was the biggest somewhere, now it is number 3. It was very windy, the guide said oh “it’s nothing last week we had 90 mph gusts." Wether it was a sign of intelligence of wimpy — I sagged.

The hotel was beautiful. Do you see the wooden beams in the ceiling? Only in cowboy country can you buy a saddle in a gas station.
