After saying our goodbyes in Bastrop we set our sites on the Texas town of La Grange. It was just a short 50 miles and we were looking forward to cycling through two state parks today: Bastrop State Park and Burscher State Park. They did not disappoint.

And they threw in some “short and steep” (not short and sweet) righteous hills to keep things spicy.
We started peddling in shorts and short sleeves today. Now when we take drink breaks we choose cold drinks instead of warm ones in stores and we seek shade instead of sun when we take rests. I think we have finally escaped the cold! Only took 34 days! 😂

And I even saw a new wildflower blooming!

Tonight we threw up our new tent in an RV park on the outskirts of La Grange. It’s a super nice place with an awesome shower. Ok not like Haley and Christian’s home or the Marriott Element in Austin but nice. After showers we walked two blocks into town and found Mexican for dinner. Yum! By the way here’s the size of my towel. Have to keep items to a minimum size while bike touring.

New tent, old poles. It works and we like it! And a campsite for $15 with all the essentials, wifi, shower, flusher and electricity. 👊🏻

I think that flower was an Indian paintbrush…from one of the folktales I read to the kiddos at SPX…The legend of the Indian Paintbrush by Tomis dePaola…beautiful!

It’s the same color as Indian Paintbrush. I’m not sure if it is or isn’t. 🤷🏼♀️
