Day 40 – April 3rd

Good morning beautiful Mesa ❤️ the view from our tent

An early start today gave us a nice fresh 20 mile run from Alpine to Marfa before the afternoon. My legs felt very fresh, probably from the gigantic meal we had at McDonalds the night before!

We love this landscape
Back into the desert!

We had a lunch of ramen, milk, wheat thins, and jerky while restocking at Dollar General in Marfa and pedaled off into a 74 mile dry stretch to Van Horn, Texas. Too bad this County is so shut down due to the virus because Marfa is a really interesting town with lots art and tasteful restaurants. Oh well!

Some roadside paintings
Hello little blimp, what are you doing?
A Prada Store! Ha!

We camped tonight behind a Prada store. Yes you read that right. Thank you, art world, for providing a safe resting place! (And thank you Smokey, Ryan, and Jackie for the permission to stay on your land)

The artists described the work as a “pop architectural land art project.”
59 miles today on the 90!
