I woke up this morning and turned my
head the wrong way. I must have pulled a muscle in my neck.
Thankfully we had a short 45 mile day scheduled. Even with low
mileage we left as early as possible because thunderstorms were
forecast for noon and 3pm. There were a few pockets of mist as we
made our way to Coldspring, TX. The skies were overcast and we
observed banks of dark rain clouds as we rode through Sam Houston
National Forest. We raced the rain to camp; we won and stopped for
lunch at The Hop.
A newspaper reporter for the Houston Community Papers stopped by
camp in the afternoon. She started her interview with a few of us,
but probably talked to half of the group. We were able to share
Custom Canines info and the article will be available at
"yourclevelandnews.com" this week.
Almost one hour after our post-ride showers, storm clouds
approached from the distance and appeared to be moving past. The
temperature dropped 15 degrees as the wind changed from the South to
West before the skies let loose. Things would have been difficult,
but Bubba arranged for us to use the clubhouse at the RV Park we are
staying. Coincidence or karma, the facilities for inclement weather
and timings of rest days have been most fortuitous.
It has been raining all afternoon and into the evening, so we will
be turning in early. It is very cold (42 projected) since the front
moved through. Quite a change from last night (70). Sleeping with
socks, sweatshirt, and stocking cap.
The rain is supposed to continue all night, but let up just in
time for our scheduled start time at 7 am.
