Day 28

Ingram, TX to Johnson City, TX. 78 miles. 3000 ft

We took our time saying our goodbyes to Lewis and Linda. And also Kristal who flew back home today. It was nearly 10am when we finally rolled out.

We cycled along the Guadalupe River for a while marveling at the size of some of the estates. After we reached Kerrville we were on several lightly traveled county roads. The beautiful wildflowers were everywhere!

In Fredericksburg by 3pm and with only 35 miles so far we decided to go for Johnson city. Another 42 miles. It was hard work but we reached the campground by 6:30.

I began staking my tent and realized there was some dark clouds approaching. Craig checked the radar and said it didn’t look good. We had passed a best western up the road earlier so we quickly gathered everything up and rode to the hotel. We got a bit wet and 30 seconds after we reached the hotel lobby the skies opened up. It poured and even hailed a bit for the next hour before slowing enough for us to dash to our room.
