Windy, temps down to 9 deg and snow....

So my 4-day plan is:

  • Ride to Muleshoe today.
  • Hole up at the Heritage House Inn tomorrow and catch up on blog and blog related contacts / communications (according to the website the HH Inn has Hi speed internet).
  • While in Muleshoe, I'll go to the Post Office and pick up all the stuff I sent there and sort out the things I think I'll need (based on an updated weather and William status) and send the rest back to Lake Jackson.
  • Friday morning around 11 am, I'll ride from Muleshoe Tx to Clovis NM and stay at a motel in Clovis (I was going to stay at Oasis State Park in Portales NM but have decided not to).
  • Saturday, I'll ride from Clovis NM to Sumner Lake State Park 5 miles north of Fort Sumner NM - about 65 miles.
  • I'll camp out at Sumner Lake State Park.
  • By Saturday, it'll be back up into the 40's during the day with lows near 20 at night.
