DAY 3

We left Junction at a fairly decent time and once again headed east on I-10. The first 100 miles was in a light rain. We never even put on rain gear. Stopped for gas outside of San Antonio and decided to drive north of the city on two lane roads. This lead us to some very pretty area with lots of trees and farms, horses and very upscale neighborhoods. The turned into perfect riding weather with a light breeze cloud cover and about 70 degrees.
About lunch time Al saw a Subway sign and we pulled over to a combination Subway/Texas Burger where we could have lunch a gas up afterward. We were sitting in the Subway when approached by a gentleman wearing a gun and a nameplate which identified him as Bill Livingston Chief of Police of Weimar, Texas. Bill started the conversation by asking if he needed to get a drug dog to check the bikes out. We told him if the dog was trained on blood pressure meds and cholesterol reducing meds he should definitely get him to work on the bikes. I great conversation with the chief followed and Al gave him a Phoenix PD patch for their patch board while we talked about our trip. Bill introduced us to Henry and Brenda the owners of the Subway and we were soon in the parking lot taking pictures and acting like old friends. What a lucky stop and we were made to feel very welcome.
Then it was on down the road with another stop for gas at Cove TX a very small town on Galveston Bay. The last stop in Texas was at Cowboy Harley Davidson to replace my gloves. It appears that the got scared riding on the back seat by themselves and jumped from the bike at 80 MPH.
We managed to get in 460 miles getting us all the way across Texas in two days, the second day was very scenic very green, nice and cool,good roads. We final stopped for the night in Lake Charles Louisiana. A good meal at a local restaurant "Pats of Henderson" a little of the Suns game and the day was over.
