To Lost Maples SP 17 Mar

Very cold last night. I had a lot of clothes on to start. It warmed up quickly though. We got a late start due to Pat's flat and the cold.  It was a fairly short day through some nice scenery.  Too bad the wind was ferocious part of the time. 

There was a nice descent into the park. 

The first big news is that John F was able to complete the rest of yesterday's ride and today's as well.

The next big news is that I had a life list bird in the Scott's Oriole. I had over 10 species in the park as they have a bird blind.

This park allows propane stoves but we are at a restaurant in Utopia TX.

The road surface is very rough chipseal.

Boots on poles

Nancy WrightI saw these boots on the fence here in 2019! If your route tomorrow is the same as the one I used in 2019, I think you have a long uphill during your ride tomorrow!

stan rosenstielTo Nancy WrightI saw the boots in 2015. We will have a lot of climbing most of the next 2 weeks I think.
