I slept great last night both because of yesterday’s long, hard ride and because the temperature was moderate and great for sleeping outdoors. If I hadn't been traveling with a group, I probably would have spent an extra day at Seminole Canyon SP. As we were leaving the visitor center they were starting a walking tour of the canyon. The walking tour would have been nice, but I didn't think there was time to do that and stay with the group.
The wind never did really die down last night and today’s ride was somewhat like yesterday’s with 15-25 mph headwinds during the whole ride. There wasn’t much in the way of scenery for much of the ride the exception being the Amistad Reservoir which has the US/Mexican border running through the middle of the lake. The reservoir was very picturesque. We’re camped at the Buzzard’s Roost RV Park which is about 3 miles west of Del Rio. Keith, who assists around the park, helped us out a lot by first driving us to a Super Walmart for groceries (by way of the nearby Dairy Queen for milk shakes and ice cream) then driving us to a Chinese buffet for dinner. Keith is originally from SW Minnesota and travels around in his van buying and selling various types of wood for woodworkers, etc. Tomorrow we’re off for a 74 mile ride to just past Montell, TX.
