1st day in Texas baby! We stopped to take pictures at the state limit sign only to stop again 20 seconds later at a more elaborate welcome sign. No flats! Finished the ride but it was tough. After the first 10 miles we had a really thick headwind. Halfway through we stopped at Joe's Boot Shop, a South Route tradition. Some guys bought cowboy hats and belt buckles and looked pretty ridiculous.
We had a really nice lunch with the Jenny Slippers Ladies Organization. Follow this: Muleshoe used to be a stop back in the day for people to re-shoe their mules; a female mule is a called a jenny; slipper=shoe. The JSLO is an extension of the Chamber of Commerce here and they do charitable work. We did a KOB at a nursing home. Tough crowd; wrong demographic.
Dinner was AWESOME! Best so far for sure. Steaks, baked potatoes, green beans, rolls, apple pie, peach cobbler, and all sorts of cookies. The clincher is that the steaks were from a steer they slaughtered the day we came! The fresh taste is notable. The potatoes were even dug up that day. I was so full!
