Day 36 Bracketville to Camp Wood 50 miles

Oct 24
Big dilema this morning , I really want to see 'the alamo' but how? I am in no mood to cycle there since I have 50 miles in front of me and the additional 15 might make it a miserably long day , plus I did that journey last night. The solution is to phone the owners , now I have had no luck with making calls in the USA so far , problems with variable codes and stuff have made 9 out of 10 calls a failure. This pattern is followed in my attempts through reception and direct dialling to contact the alamo. But wonder of wonders I get through, and before you know it a lady comes to pick me up and take me there - hooray !!
The 'Alamo Village' is some 2 miles from the main road on a ball breaking rough road which would have been murder on the bike, Thea who takes me there is a lovely lady and we have a good chat on the way. The Alamo and the replica San Antonio do not disappoint, even better, I am the only visitor and I really soak up the atmosphere, to be honest this was better than some of the 'real' famous monuments or sights I have seen, which as those who know me know have been many, just a magical experience!!
Thea takes me back to Fort Clark and I set off at one into the fabled Texas hill country to Camp Wood.The wind again is neutral and I have a super journey through pleasant scenery getting better as the journey go's on.
Camp Wood is a pretty little town and I'm there by 6pm, just in time to od on cheladas and internet chat, today has been fantastic
