Thanks again Bill for your very generous hospitality.<br \/>\nIt was another cold morning and I didn&#8217;t want to get out of my bag, but you have to take advantage of every cool minute of the day. The ride to Dryden was fairly easy due to great shoulder pavement all the way to the Pecos county line where it changed to the dreaded large chip seal surface. The W was most helpful today and the reason we added 25 additional miles to the original destination of Sanderson. I met up with young Phd Sarah again outside of Marathon this morning, she stayed at the Marathon hostel last night and claimed that it was great.

Just before the turnoff to 25 and Langtry there is a CS however hours of operation are not consistent nor guaranteed to be open. I find myself with plenty of water and very little food.
