Camp Wood is a surprisingly pleasant little town with several restaurants and craft shops and a laundromat next door to the motel. The laundromat was the biggest thrill, made even better when Lisa, our SAG driver du jour offered to throw our clothes in with hers. There is a certain advantage to being among the oldest riders! The main agricultural industry here seems to be raising goats (goat ranching?) There are also a lot of sheep. We never passed through a town in our 48 mile ride between Bracketville and Camp Wood, but we did pass a lot of impressive gates to homes and ranch land. We saw many houses out near the road, something we have not seen in many days. Of course this means we saw a lot of dogs, too. I really like seeing those dogs when they are behind fences. I know they think we are intruding on their territory when they chase us down the road, but my perception is different. The winds were very light and favorable. The chip seal was as difficult as ever.
That sounds like an interesting place - love little shops. Getting someone to do your laundry? Priceless.
