It was another nice night for camping and I slept without the rain fly on my tent. My only mistake was being in the line of sight of a nearby pole lamp so things were pretty bright all night. It didn’t bother me too much. I was nearly asleep at about 9:00 when I kept seeing bright flashes. At first I thought something might be wrong with my eyes but then figured out Dan was trying to take pictures of an armadillo that was crawling by my tent. We were on the road shortly after 8:00 am and rode to Winchester, TX then on to La Grange. RJ, Gary, Dan and I rode west about a mile to the Riverside Café for breakfast. It came highly recommended by one of the locals at the town square. We met up with the rest of the group on the east end of town at a Shell station/convenience store then headed to Rutersville , Oldenburg and Warrenton where we stopped at a small store for snacks. The current owners were very nice and gave RJ and I a rundown on the history of their store and a little of the town. From Warrenton we rode to Round Top where Gary mailed a package of photos home then it was on to the Dixieland RV Park in Carmine, TX. Everyone arrived by around 2:30 pm. We’ve pitched our tents and cleaned up and grocery shopped. We’re having sandwiches and chips for dinner. Tomorrow we’re off to Navasota, TX which is the end of the Southern Tier Section 4; only 3 sections left and I expect it will go by very quickly.
