Last entry didn’t take. Will be brief here.
Bypassed I10 chokepoint and rode to Bridge City. Crossed the Neches Rainbow Bridge, bigger even than the SUnshine over MS. Strong south wind made it darn tough.
Refineries until Beaumont. I think the whole city got hit by an ugly bomb. Downtown was boarded up and quiet. Made a hotel and hiked around a bit, found a bike shop and finally got a proper spare tube.
Headed out presently. Going to make outskirts of H-town tonight. End of Leg II on Tuesday morning.
