FREDERICKBURG to JOHNSON CITY, 11.12.17

A good ride--around 37 miles--rolling hills, a light rain in the morning, gorgeous county with lots of animals: seven deer, a flock of huge turkeys, a couple of armadillos (I tried but could not get a photo of these guys), William the turtle (see below), squirrels, cattle, goats, lama, hawks, horses, and more horned exotic animals behind high fences. 

I'm trying to decide where to fly out of to get to Eugene/Seattle on the 21st or 22nd of Nov. I had planned on leaving from Austin but I will arrive there tomorrow, much faster than expected. I'm now thinking that I will spend a couple of days in Austin to rest and then keep going and fly out of Huston. We'll see, I still need to work out the details. 

It has been cloudy for six or seven days--although without much rain--but having intentionally traveled to sunny climates for several years now I am used to seeing the sun. I miss it.   

This is William, I met him while he was trying to cross the road.
He was not open and friendly but I helped him across anyway and
he walked off safely into the high grass. 

William's hat.
