We did it!!! We made it from Comstock to Sanderson, an 88 mile stretch with no available commercial water stops. Thank you to the kind woman in Dryden (the name is appropriate) who let us use her well water when we realized we had undershot it just a tiny bit.
We have learned we should carry eight more liters on top of the 11 we had. Better safe than sorry. It’s going to be a heavy next leg.
Ryan and I celebrated our long trek through nothing with a little motel room at Outback Oasis and lots of gas station food. My favorite was the cottage cheese 😍
An interesting disruption to our upcoming plan was encountered when we met a motorcyclist, Paul, who informed us that the next few counties have banned all travelers from stopping there. We really don’t have a better choice than to still go through and are hopeful we can find some discreet spots to park it for the night.
This means we will also be skipping Big Bend which we were looking forward to, but I must admit I feel a little relief getting to bypass another 88 mile stretch with no water getting in and out of the park.
More desert pictures!
Still pedaling away on the 90 😊
There and Back Again
