Deeper in the Heart of Texas

Today was a good day. Although our record of over three days without a flat came to an end as Monty had one early today. About 39 miles out of Post we came to the town of Clairmont which has been largely abandoned. But in it's past it was apparently a county seat or something because the old courthouse and jail are still there and maintained as historical sites I guess. Kind of interesting and photogenic (pictures below). If you really squint at the Clairmont sign you'll see it says "Gone But Not Forgotten". Then there was the town of Old Glory which needed a little exploring while the bike drivers were headed down the road. There wasn't much there except the plaque I took a picture of, but I doubt you can read it.

The original schedule had us stopping for the night in the town of Aspermont. That equated to a seventy something trip. But it also left us with 105 miles tomorrow. Monty and Dave were feeling good so decided to go another 32 miles to Haskell, which is where we are now. They were pooped when we got here though. Monty was hoping we would get to our next stop (Graham) early enough to catch a Friday night High School football game. Of course, we don't even know if their HS team is playing a home game. We asked some folks here, but Graham is too far away for anyone to know.

So, after dinner and the obligatory stop at Dairy Queen, we're all tucked in for the night. More later. God bless!
