Lubbock - Texas
I drove about 221 miles today and I made it to Lubbock, TX (no, I have not heard of it either before). It was a wonderful ride. I thought I saw open country yesterday, but today there was hardly any living soul between the small towns I passed. I took State Rt. 82 and this road is as State Rt. 70 a great road to bike on. The only thing is that you do not want to get stranded here, because it may take a while for someone to pick you up . . . and I have not checked my Nextel service here :-) If you see a vehicle it is usually a semi that hauls cattle or a pick-up truck that hauls live stock. The speed limit is 70 mph on the St. Rt and I usually drive 65 mph . . . and then suddenly you see a semi passing me at God knows what speed . . . :-)
When you drive you see horses grazing, cowboys fixing fences (boy would I like to own a barbed wire shop here) and cattle that believe this belongs to them alone.
The weather is making up for all the trouble it gave . . . about 86 degrees and no humidity at all.
My plans are to leave tomorrow to Roswell, New Mexico and check if I can find some aliens. I will probably stay in Roswell another day to rest and will then leave. I think that I will be in Nevada by Sunday or so, but I will let all of you know.

Thought of the day:
Loneliness is to not to be shared but to be conquered.
