Day 26: Sanderson to Seminole Canyon, TX: Headwind Hell<\/h4>\n

Thursday March 30, 2023, 82 miles (132 km) – Total so far: 1,316 miles (2,118 km)\nIt was nice to wake up in a church classroom and not have to break camp. Kathy made breakfast of bacon and fresh eggs from the pastor\u2019s chickens. Delicious! That would be the best part of this day.\nOn bikes at 8:15 to try to get ahead of the anticipated 20mph afternoon headwinds.

Stopped at Visitor Center for view of canyon and inside dioramas depicting history of the area. On route at 9:00. Good fast peddling on rolling roads through canyon walls. Water fill at Comstock gas station at mile 10. Not much scenery; they call this area Scrubland. Slight headwind about 7mph. Passed through Amistad National Recreation Area and the beautiful Amistad Reservoir provided some needed relief to the dry landscape. The water looks so inviting as the full sun now is high and it\u2019s 80\u00b0. Sailed over the two lane bridge over the reservoir. Lots of RV Parks – must be …<\/p>\n
