We fell asleep last night halfway through watching The Lion King and slept close to 11 hours!! Hello refreshed body and mind 😊
After waking up, we browsed some high fashion at the Prada store and decided high heels wouldn’t be good right now, so we hit the road for Van Horn, 35ish miles away.
Showers, clean clothes, and interesting conversations with fellow travelers awaited us at the Van Horn RV Park where we spent the afternoon. We also made a stop at McDonald’s and stocked up on some more pop tarts and crackers for water break snacks when we need a pick me up in the middle of a long day.
We are headed off route from here to the north to hike Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas! It is 66 miles away from Van Horn with a 3,000 ft elevation climb, and we carved 11 of those miles out today. The scary part is, it was pretty flat so far… Tomorrow is going to eventually be a CLIMB!
The beautiful hills around us had us in awe. Tonight we are nestled in beside the road with just enough cover to avoid detection. Ryan has been doing a fantastic job picking our campgrounds each night while I get to admire the nature around us ❤️
