Van Horn, Texas

74 miles, 1061 down from Van Horn, TX. We drove near the border again today. The sheriff and the Border Patrol stopped us several times and told us to hurry, stay in groups and don’t talk to strangers. Evidently there had been an “incident” a few weeks ago. We even had a helicopter keeping an eye on us.

We had to ride again on the interstate - not a thing I’m fond of. The road surface off the highway was a bumpy version of chip and seal.

The exercise ball was a pleasant stretch during the ride. See the lunch restaurant had different stuff. I’ve never seen so much Salsa. Nobody seems to drink our usual Coke/Pepsi but other stuff. I didn’t try it.
