Has been awesome
We've come 271 mi from El Paso
There have been fewer broken beer bottles on the side of the road (than there were in Nuevo Meh he Co and Azirona)
The drivers, save one guy (gal?) in a gold colored pickup truck today, have been "friendly" - like the Welcome to Texas sign advertised, or admonished? (Except for maybe in El Paso, with about a million Americans, crowded into one hot, windy, and dusty place.)
A guy in a "work truck" today, in the "no man's land" between Alpine and Marathon, even slowed down and offered us water (signaled it, and I am taking it to be that, given that we didn't actually talk; just hand gestures: "Drink?"). I mean, we've biked near 2,500 miles pardner, and no motorist has offered us water?! (In the desert, no less.)
I mean, I don't feel "welcome", being a long-haired, libral hippie who thinks we should treat other humans (even non-Americans - please don't tell anyone!) and non-human animals with respect...
But, so far so good?
