Sunday
Texas
We got a late start on our ride today but ride we did. We decided to roll out a bit west and ride part of the Waggoner Ranch. This is a ride through rugged wide open territory that some might call the stereotypical Texas scape - oil tanks, pump jacks, open range cattle, sagebrush, prickly pear cactus, mesquite groves, cracked red clay ground, brown water where there is water and deep red and mostly dry creek beds and gullies.
Starting out was warm but tolerable as we had some cloud cover. About the time we committed to a long loop (Hwy 1811 West) through the ranch the day turned HOT in a hurry. So we rode in half past baked happy to have a/c and beer already in the fridge.
Somewhere out on the Waggoner Ranch or thereabouts
There's a lake out there if you squint you can see it
Not cool, clear water - hot, brown water
Looking a bit parched in these parts
