What a difference wind makes! Yesterday we were averaging over 18 mph (with ease) and today we were averaging just over 10 mph (with effort). Too bad my Garmin (bicycle computer) doesn't record wind speed and direction.
Tonight we are in a motel in Van Horn, TX. The next official campsite is in Fort Davis, 90 miles east of here on the otherside of a 2000 ft pass. With a west wind, I think we could make it in one shot, but tomorrow's forecast is for more east winds ... so we may be camping at a picnic area along the roadside tomorrow night.
We are now in the central time zone. Progress!
Picnic areas are pretty far into that 90 miles as I recall. We stayed on the side the of road, maybe 15 miles after Kent. I think only 1 car went by overnight. No problems at all. Good luck with the wind! It's been beating us up over the last 4 and a half days.
