Bastrop to La Grange, TX (41 miles) Monday, April 5

We started out the day entering the Balstrop Park only a few miles from our motel.  It was like stepping into another dimension.  We went from the town of Balstrop, to a dedicated state park.  There was no traffic, beautiful woods, and (at first) gently rolling hills.

 

Well, we needed a good workout for the morning, right?  lol!  It was really beautiful.

As soon as we exited the park, we were back to reality.  The roadsm,  we were on were pastures and fields of flowers.  The flowers only blossom in the spring, so the Texans are just about as happy about them as we are!


 
Although it seemed that we missed Easter, we had reminders of the season along the way!



 
This cow was just too cute!

We rolled toward La Grange, and we started to see oil wells and interesting signs.




I think the ride was tiring today because we were still worn out from the 93 miles yesterday!  But I thought it was nice of La Grange to put out such a nice welcome sign for us on their water tower!





Tomorrow will be 69 miles to Navasota.  'Hope we will outrun the rain that is predicted for late afternoon!
