Wind

The gathering at Margaret's was a great success.  Glenda made some really good enchiladas and almost the whole gang was over again.  I was a bad influence for the kids climbing up after them in the tree and doing so barefoot no less but everyone came out ok, but I did need to go up after Jacob and get him down. 
That night it decided to rain spontaneously and we had not covered our bikes but luckily we ended up not much worse for the wear.  we hit the road got some breakfast then met Glenda, Dale, and some of Vincent's kids on the road so they could give us a send off.
It was really nice what they did for us and so good to see their part of the family and how that as far as they are a way, they are definitely family. 

We then headed into the wind and our slowest average we ever did.  By lunch we had only done 22 miles and after another 16 we decided to call it a day in a secluded pasture.  I went for a walk to high ground to find service and came across a couple month old dead steer.  I went on and got a hold of Ava who we were suppose to stay with that evening to tell her we wouldn't make it.  I spent the evening working on the horns (I plan to carve something nice in them, maybe make a powder horn).  We had a really nice evening there and took our time in the morning since we only had 35 miles to go and the wind had subsided.  We got to Colorado city around noon and spent the rest of the day relaxing with Ava.  Charlie mowed her yard and she gave him a massage in return (she is a masseuse and a parametic). 
Tomorrow we head toward Lubbock which is 110 miles if the wind is kind we will do it all else we will probably camp somewhere.
