Marfa to Van Horn, 76 miles
On this ride the only services for 72 miles are in Valentine and consisted of a water fauset behind the post office. That about sums it up. Pedal, pedal, post office,pedal,pedal...motel.
There was a 3.5 mile long pecan orchard about 12 miles out of Van Horn but not much else for vegetation.
Van Horn turned out to be a large truck stop on I-10 with 4-7 motels and not much else. After the Gage hangover we choose Motel 6.
The area around here is high desert country with cold nights and warm days. With the population density around these parts it's not a problem to see the stars at night.
