Day 22 – Del Rio to Langtry TX: The Universe Speaks…Again
\nMonday January 16, 2017
\nI didn’t rise too early today, mostly because I stayed up too late last night in my hotel room watching Goliath, an awesome series on Amazon Prime. But I did manage to make it out of Del Rio and be on the road by 8:30am. Not too bad really!

The second “first” was that Jerry & Ruth were the first travelers I’ve met so far who were traveling in my direction. Though I’m traveling faster than they are, and not exactly following the same route; for today it worked out perfectly. It was so pleasant…and weird!…to have people to talk with while riding. To chat with over dinner as we camped at the Community Center in the tiny little town of Langtry. And the final “first” was actually using my backpacking stove and cooking utensils that I’ve been hauling around for three weeks.
