Sierra Blanca. Sounds like it might be in altitude, doesn’t it? That was my goal for today. I had breakfast at La Estrella, and left at 7:40 am. A 10 mph wind (in my face most of the time) was forecast, so it wouldn’t be hot. The main concerns would be distance, and spacing of stops.
The forecast for tomorrow is PM thunderstorms. But I have a short day, only about 35 miles to Van Horn, which is at the edge of the 90-mile stretch bereft of services.
Miles today: 69.2

In fact, it did rain just a little last night. Just like after the huge thunderstorm in Fabens, the ground was dry by morning.
I’m going to try, by leaving early tomorrow morning. If I don’t make it, I’ll road camp. But the forecast is for possible thunderstorms at night, so I’d prefer not to camp.

Are you going to try to do the 90-mile stretch in one day?

It’s interesting the ground dries quickly. I thought it was humid.
It will get humid after Del Rio, I hear (in about a week). Where I am now is high desert, lots of sand.
