Leg 17 - Milam, TX to Huntsville, TX


We had a little light sprinkles this morning starting out, but our path today was just on the outer edge of the storm although yesterdays route was right in the path - good timing. Cloud cover also made it the coolest day I've had on the bike. The roads though didn't cooperate - was only able to ride on 72 of the 100 miles I had scheduled for today. Between Lufkin and Trinity, Tx - most of the roads had no shoulders and were too dangerous and we had to car hop. On the other side of Trinity - a beautiful 4 lane road with shoulders and looks like tomorrows Rt 30 to Bryan and Rt 21 toward Bastrop should be good as well. We're shooting for Giddings tomorrow night and then its about 60 miles into Austin so we should in town around midday. After reaching Huntsville, we motored down to Spring, Tx and will be staying the night with my in-laws, Don and Joanne Wafer - see photo.
