The temps were mild when we left Fort Clark in Bracketville and headed for Camp Wood, 50 miles away.  Things began to green up a bit and we began to encounter some hillier terrain.  The head winds continue so some of us are experimenting with a sort of pace line (not anywhere near the real thing!) so as to break the wind somewhat.  I like it.  It becomes a sort of mantra, watching the tire and chain in front of you.  We're seeing lots of ranches like this.  The houses are nowhere to be seen and the gates are almost always closed.
