HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 17 - Columbus to El Paso (75.1 miles)

With the prospect of another hot day, we got an early start. We left the Hole in the Wall Air BnB at 7:30 am. The scenery was “a lot of the same”. We arrived in Texas, the 4th state (out of 9) at mile 74.3. No Welcome to Texas sign, unfortunately. Stopped by a Lowrider Custom Car Show a few blocks from the El Paso Holiday Inn Express, where we are staying tonight.

Here’s Addison, the owner of the Hole in the Wall Air BnB.
