Cold Springs to Kountze

We only got in 63 miles today. There were two reasons for this:

Tornadic activity predicted for the afternoon in this area and persistent rip currents in my digestive tract.

Marty was a champ today - he pulled the entire ride. The roads were surprisingly nice for being way out in the "Big Thicket".

The Thicket is a National preserve in which Civil War deserters would hide - they were called "bushwhackers".

I am toast, but I think I have seen the worst of it. We will most likely be in Louisiana tomorrow.
