Dad, have you been here before?
Day #23, April 28th: Boerne to Austin, TX, 110 milesAfter resting well at the Best Western in Boerne, we made an early 7:30 am start toward Austin. The wind was non-existent for most of the morning and the difference between riding with a head wind vs no wind is INCREDIBLE -- a head wind is completely demoralizing and not much fun to ride in AT ALL. Anyway, made good time through rolling hills to the small town of Blanco, then rode north to Johnson City (the home of Lynden B Johnson) where we had the most terrible service at the Dairy Queen. From there we took small roads straight east into Austin, arriving downtown before 7 pm. Our warm showers host for the night was Walt Tashnick, a very friendly retired Air Force navigator who not only housed us for the night but also took us to dinner at his son's sports bar and made us dessert! We enjoyed his company and rested well after a long day!

Stacy / Kon,
Never been to Johnson City, but I see by the photo that someone who had the great pleasure of meeting me at some point in time was still impressed by my wit, knowledge and generally grand standing amount the human race.
Love Dad
Ironically, my cousin Steve is from Johnson City.
Hey Konrad & Stacy,
I hope that all is going well for you all, I met the two of you at the convenience store in Bracketville on Friday, April 25th then saw you guys riding later that day somewhere between there and Camp Wood. I would suppose you all are somewhere in Lousiana by now. Remember "I can do everything through him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13
God Bless,
