Harley Ride 2009 - Day 9
WE DID IT! We crossed Texas! Finished off the second half of Texas today, from Sonora to Silver City, NM. Today was yellow! Yellow grasses, Yellow dirt, dry riverbeds-where water flows when it rains. There was green along the Rio Grande, so there must still be water in the Rio Grande at this time of year. We ran parallel with the river, but never got close enough to see the river.

Such a change from green and water.....lots of water.
Now we have vista's of cactus, yucca, mountains rising in the distance and visibility for long stretches. We saw cows, goats, a few deer, some road kill.

Ate lunch at the John Madden Hall of Fame, Chuy's in Van Horn, TX. Real authentic mexican food. Yum, Yum!

Silver City is a mining town and pretty big for being stuck in the middle of nowhere!

Love it!

Reflective ride notes: 537 miles, 4 gas stops, high $2.89, low $2.44
Only one meltdown today and it wasn't me. Sorry Grandpa, we are almost home!
Love the cactus, dry air, views, low bushes, mountains! I must have been born in the West!
