Day 3
Day 3 5/24/22 5/24/22
Roads were mostly wet all the way from Brownfield, TX to Mineral Wells, TX but I never rode in anything but a very light sprinkle that lasted for at most 5 minutes. I planned on camping at Mineral Wells State Park near Mineral Wells, TX but heavy rain was forecasted to start around 4PM. I arrived at 3PM. I nixed camping for a motel and am glad I did. Promptly at 4PM it started to rain.

Day 4 5/25/22
306.4 mi, +7885 ft. Bike ride in Mineral Wells, TX

Took a roundabout way around Dallas/Fort Worth. I did not want to ride through the city and on the interstate. Nice ride and the only eventful thing to happen today is I did not leave (lose) anything and I received my first Social Security check. The check only took 6 1/2 weeks and several calls to the SSA offices. The website said it would only take 2 to 4 weeks. But for some reason my application languished in a government black hole. The third time I called the local SSA office and my application was pushed forward and I had a check in about 5 days. The local office could not tell me why it was stuck in the regional office in Denver. I ended up in Atlanta, TX because I have not yet ridden my bike in Arkansas and wanted to check off each state I have not ridden in.
