Started out Saturday with some meditation in the church. Beautiful place for resting, healing and strength
Neat old church with a vibrant priest and congregation.
The wind is up again today and I am headed for Marathon, Tx.
The road today is not desolate this is LeeBob from South Carolina he stopped on his motorcycle to chat.
He manages a white water rafting and Zip line adventure place in South Carolina.
and then this fellow and his wife stopped in there 5th wheel. They were going to Sanderson and stay a few days to look them up when I get there.
Turns out to be David and Marie from Wyoming more on them later.
Along about here at a road side park at the junction of Hwy 90 and 67, I meet Mark, who is from Germany. He comes over every year for a few weeks and stays at Fort Davis. He was riding a bike also.
Rolled into Marathon, Tx early today about 4:30 after 30 miles a very good day. Reading one of the place markers Marathon was named by a sea captain who settled here. He named it because the area hill reminded him of the Marathon Plain in Greece. Who knew.

Mike,
I have been following you from the start. Great job! This chip-seal in Texas is brutal! I don’t know where all you are going in south and cental Texas but I work in the McAllen area during the week and live in San Antonio on weekends. If you are going to be anywhere close to either i would enjoy visiting with you, giving you a place to R&R and show you some of the local missions and sites. Shoot me an email if you like. Be safe out there! Phil
