We met Doc and JR at a little junction gas station outside of Lost
Maples State Park. Brian and I had gone 40 miles over 4 of the best
hills, hill country had to offer and we had just found out that the
park was booked solid because of spring break. Doc and JR were asking
us all about our journey and of course the question of where we were
staying came up. "I've got a 500 acre ranch with some guest houses if
you all are interested. " said Doc. Well of course we were interested
and of course it wasn't right around the corner. Another 25 miles, off
route, and of course another hill. We hate to pass up kindness so we
set off toward the ranch. The hill was the worst on of the day,
straight up, I did not think it was going to end or that I was going
to make it. Once to the top we did another good chunk of miles on some
rollers into the town of Medina. Here is where I find out my tires are
coming apart, litteraly coming unglued. We call Doc and we are saved
from the last 6 miles by his truck. We meet Doc's wife Jeanne and
their two grand kids and have an amazing dinner. It was another
experience we won't forget and kindness we get to give back to someone
in the future.
