The climb into the mountain ahead is long and steady. Thanks to the tail wind I was able to get 38 miles in. Wished I would have filled up with water at Ft. Hancock because McNary has nothing that open. Oh Well

The look back to El Paso - Boy this 30 mph and higher gusts are a God Send for pushing me up hill. Mary Cahoon was the other with a Coke.
Not much to see into the Valley, for the dust the wind kicked up – I was really getting worn out. The wind is what got me this far. Running a little low on water and gas until Mary Cahoon on her way to Big Spring stopped her Honda Shadow motorcycle on the freeway and walked over to the frontage road to say Hello. She had a Diet Coke and pleasant talk that got me to the top. Thanks Mary.
