We rode from La Grange to Navasota; 69 miles with bicycling elevation gain of 3534 feet. The countryside had some nice views; cousin Duffy had a battle with a diesel truck not moving over for us while we had no shoulder; he put his arm out and looked to push the truck toward the center of the road. There was a lot of yelling too. Cousin Duffy is a tough guy! We stopped for lunch in the small town of Independence, and we ate at the independence general store. We both had the special: hamburger steak with gravy and fries. The eating area is claimed to be the social center of the town; we were lucky to be arriving at 1330, just as the kitchen was closing, to find one empty table. The proprietor, Mike, came out from the kitchen to speak with us and have us sign his notebook that he keeps for all the bicycle riders that stop.
Next planned stop is Kountze, TX.
The lake out in the horizon; hills
Still with us
With old
Building store
Fronts- I like the name of this bank.
