Yep, we are now in Texas. We left Meridian, MS this morning and are now 5 miles into the state. The rain held off most of the day. We put on our rain gear and rode for a few hours. After getting incredibly hot, we broke down and took off the gear. Bad idea; we hit rain in Shreveport, LA. Lots of it. Bolt lightning and wall clouds were in the distance, but stayed away from us. We finally broke down and stopped under a crosswalk over the interstate. When cars start to pull over because of the heavy rain - that is a good indicator that you should as well! Our gear is all over the room drying out. But, the bags (and their contents) stayed dry. Jose is already asleep. We ate a nice Italian restaurant. Tummies are full and the room is cold.
Looking at the weather this evening, it looks as if we are going to be riding in the rain tomorrow as well. Thanks for all you following us. We can feel your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a dryer day. But I doubt we will make Amarillo!
