Thursday, June 10th

Got another early start today, 6:15 am. We beat the heat for a while, then it became warm. But, before it got hot, we had completed our 11 miles. We saw our first Longhorn steer today. One would think that we would have seen more, but with 3 more days to walk, we saw our first one. Also saw hay and wheat and horses and more hay and wheat and horses.

We did see our first oil well in a while. I think the last oil wells were around Portales, New Mexico. Of course, it was in the middle of a wheat field. We crossed into Wilbarger County today, the last county we will walk in. Also, we moved the RVs from Crowell to Vernon, Texas, our last RV park on the walk.

On our way through Crowell, we stopped at the Shaw's Pharmacy and took one more photo of the large cactus they have out front. We found a 7mm socket and 53 cents. Stay tuned ....
