Day 16: Sierra Blanca to Marfa: Bobby was right about this part of Texas<\/h4>\n

Monday April 5, 2021, 107 miles (172 km) – Total so far: 1,125 miles (1,810 km)\nGreetings from Marfa, the Town where the movie Giant was filmed. Today was a slog…tough winds, tough roads, and a sloooow 60 mile incline between Van Horn and Marfa. My neighbor Bobby traveled through here some years ago and warned me that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pretty desolate. He was so right. This part of the trip has huge gaps between service stops with today being the first of three days dictated by the gaps in service. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad I made it here, though tomorrow will be another long day to reach Sanderson.<\/p>\n

There really isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to much to report on today, though a …\n\"\"\/<\/p>\n
