Quote for the day: "What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds." Will Rogers

A mediocre day of 109.5 miles. Again we got off to a good start, but faded with poor descisions interpreting maps and directions around cities. The map people have given us a wonderful route that tries to keep us safe, but we have trouble trying to follow it sometimes. We are thankful for the miles. The winds were more favorable, but again picked up later. Tomorrow we head between San Antonio and Austin. We are slowly getting through Texas. We saw a bunch of wildlife today. Several kinds of deer and 4 or 5 groups of wild pigs. Also for most of the morning we traveled down the Guadalupe River which was a very beautiful and peaceful experience. We put in the song "Shall We Gather At the River" to recognize this. It is so good to continue to hear from so many of you. We hope for the "break through big mile day", but we are doing just fine. Thanks for the prayers. Cindy & I are so blessed.
