The weather report said thunder storms and easterly winds. We dodged the storms but the winds jammed us for the first 20 miles of 116 total on the day. Once we entered the hilly section leading to Alpine, Texas, we escaped some of the direct wind effect.
Marathon lies about 40 miles out of Sanderson, and the place was filled with motorcycles, even with the rain. They were everywhere. We took one more pit stop and headed out, facing a renewed headwind. The wind/rough road surface tag teamed us until we rolled over the last bridge into Sanderson, where the road smoothed out and all the noise stopped, finally.
Weather was now our main concern, and we kept seeing thunderstorms, lightening and rain for the next few days. We'd play it by ear once we got up to head out to Del Rio, Texas.
over and out
