It had not rained for a few weeks prior to our trip . 35 miles out of San Antion we had no choice as the rain was getting old after 60 miles of it ! This rest stop served us well and able to have a cup of hot coffee before we decided to keep on riding West to Del Rio on Highway 90.
OK ,here we are again taking shelter off Higway 90 about 60 miles from Del Rio , We have only gotten 350 miles today and will be forced to stay overnight in Del Rio.
We had planed to make it to Alpine the first day a full 600 miles but it was not ment to be.
The next morning after a night of rest we gathered ourselfs and contuined our way down 90 to the Pecos River for a rest stop and a view .
The Pecos River High Bridge .
We met up with another good friend from Alpine and took a deture over to the park and to enjoy a little rest in Marathon. Still another 120 miles to the mountains.
This is Dan my good friend and buissness partner in Alpine . We still contract renewalble and shore power electrical installations for the tri county area !
We finnally make it into Alpine and first stop is "The RailRoad Blues" for a brew or 2 .

> Barry and his father Herman were out at there place while we were at mine, Barry and myself are neighbors on the coast and also in the mountains . As we chill out at 7200 feet on a perfect day .
On our way home after several days cruising the roads of far West Texas we had to break the bubble and get back on the road home .
This "Modern Hotel was in a small town called Rocksprings .The Edwards Plateau area of Texas is well known for its excellent deer hunting , and that's about all !
I'm not very modest , just plain worn out ,was outside the room looking for my fixing for a cocktail when my good old buddy took this , At this point we had about 1500 miles on the saddle in 6 days and still counting.
Time to hit the road again Day 7 , Today we will complete the circle and make it back home by tonight. So far everything has been a blast and no mechanical problems or flats .
This is LBJ National Park off Highway 290 @ Stonewall Texas near Johnson City.
These are park rangers who we made friends with after they came to check out these long hair motorcycle dudes and what we were doing here ! As it ended up they were pretty good Government employee's , and one's not to hard to look at !
and that's the way it was !
cheers !

After all was said and done we logged 1940 mile in 7 days and 6 nights , Any time for a ride is a good time for me ! Any takers ?
