Day 22 Ft Davis to Marathon, TX

The biggest news of this day is the beautiful Gage Hotel in Marathon, TX. It really gives the impression of an oasis in the desert. Our room is extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated with a buffalo skin rug, old cowboy photos on the wall, an iron bed frame, plaster walls and wooden doors and windows that look as if they came from an 18th century fort.

The ride was a pleasant 60 miles of "false flats" that really ran a bit downhill, a gentle breeze that pushed us along, cool temperatures in the morning, and more blue skies. We all enjoyed it!
