Normally we would alternate updating the blog, but Chip is just slightly under the weather at the moment. Some of it could be that we spent the day surrounded by weather. When they say that everything is bigger in Texas, they are also talking about the raindrops. We have endured several massive soakings today, with only brief periods of sunshine between them. Tonight finds us just outside of Corpus Christi Texas, after riding through the town of Refugio Texas, which had taken a direct hit from Hurricane Harvey earlier this year. Even in the pouring rain we could get a brief glimpse of the destruction there, and it was massive.
Our riding day was otherwise uneventful, add gas, add oil, twist throttle, repeat. Once again our room looks like a crazed person was throwing riding gear all around. Jackets and pants hang from every available spot, puddles of water grow on the floor, various bits of electronics are sucking up electricity from every available outlet. Tomorrow we will arrive in Pharr TX, where we have new tires waiting for us, and hopefully a clutch from our faithful parts supplier Harrison. A couple pictures to finish up today.
