We slept well in the cabin with the sheets and blankets that Gema provided us. We started to make breakfast, boiling water for coffee first. That’s when the fuel canister ran out. So, we had lukewarm coffee and cereal bars for breakfast. As soon as we packed up, we rode back to the main campus of Mo-Ranch. We needed to do laundry, so we used that time to explore. Mo-Ranch is a Presbyterian campground situated on the banks and adjoining bluffs of the Guadalupe River. Not having much time, we asked what was a must see. We were told to head up the bluff to see Inspiration Point and then further up to the outdoor chapel. We were not disappointed! Each stop along the hike up the bluff offered slightly different, but equally stunning views of the Guadalupe River. We came down, packed our laundry, and headed to the mess hall for lunch. We arrived just as 200 children came in for lunch. The manager was so kind to let us jump the line, and we enjoyed a delicious taco bar lunch. As we were leaving, the head groundskeeper, Moises, began asking us about our trip. He was on the phone with his wife and was relating all we were telling him to her in Spanish. He wanted to take our picture. So, we got a late start to our journey, but it was well worth it. We were looking forward to retracing those 11 miles back to Hunt so we could see those river crossings in daylight. Bicycle traveling is so rewarding because you see, hear and smell so much more than if traveling by a speedy motorized vehicle. We can stop at every stream and river crossing and see the trees around the water, the fish, the birds. We’ve noticed dozens of wildflower varieties throughout Texas, still giving their all into October. If we rode by a particularly beautiful or stunning hill, it was our constant companion for a long time. If we flagged, we could glance at it for inspiration. Once back on the route, we headed to Lost Maples State Park. The ride continued along the river before resuming all the hills. The ride ended with a scary, thrilling, long downhill to the park. Since we had no fuel, Bruce cooked our rehydrated dinner over coals. It took a long time, but was still delicious! Total cycling mileage: 49 Total hiking mileage: 5
