I completed 1 of 2 objectives yesterday, and looking back at it I really should have done both. I will call it lack of rest, causing a poor mind set and general bleh.
Up at 04:00 shower and have a half a cup of coffee. Dress up as Fat Darth Vader and roll out at 04:45.
Its wet and water is standing all over the place, I put it down to the rain from earlier in the night. The forecast shows it to be cloudy and no rain. Ha!!!! It is a cool 56 degrees and brisk.
I hit the 7-11 at about 05 and get fueled up and start my tracking and nav apps.
Now head south to San Marcos. Up to speed on I-35 and going well through Ft Worth. I hit a very light rain, you know that stuff that just sticks to the visor instead of beading up and rolling off. Combine that with the road spray from the other vehicles on the road and it can cut vision way down. Its like this until about Austin.
About the 130/I-35 split I can see brake lights on I-35 so 130 it is. Look down and I am getting short on fuel. Roll on looking for a gas station, getting shorter on fuel, still looking. Miles to empty down to 6 miles and there is a station, YAY!!!! I guess I won't get to use the Roto Pax after all. Back on 130 and keep going, soon after this is where I make my first mistake. I miss my turn back to I-35, call it not paying attention or poor vision or what ever but I stayed on 130. Man I have been on here for a while, shouldn't I be turning toward I-35 and San Marcos? Next sign up San Antonio? What? Awwwww Foot!!!! How do I get to San Marcos. Okay head Straight west and slightly north.
San Marcos
Now on to Yorktown, a much better ride than the super slab.
You already saw the photo of Myself and the memorial in Yorktown. Thanks South Tex, it was great meeting you and taking the time to talk.
Here are a couple of my own.
