Day 21

Sanderson to Seminole state campground. 83 miles. 2300 ft climbing.

We left the Desert Air motel around 9:30. Kristal and janet joined us there since they were close by in Marathon.

It was a beautiful sunny morning in the mid 50s. We generally had a decent tailwind all day. Very clear so that we could see for miles. Some beautiful canyons. It was a stretch of 80 miles without any services(water/stores). We tanked up on water and set out for Langtry, about 60 miles which had a visitor center where we could wild camp.

As we neared Langtry we realized we had plenty of time to make to another 20 miles to a state park. So we did that. There were not many campsites available but we found one. The other campers were very friendly and one couple even invited us over for a beer!

I should also mention that Craig has been feeling much better the past several days. His Achilles is still bothering him a bit but it hasn’t slowed him down.
