Started the day cycling through Pecan orchards, before turning up into the mountains.
Evan and I had opted to do a slightly longer alternative route which was pretty scenic to start with.
Crossed over the state line from New Mexico to Texas at about 42 miles then the route became busier as it headed down towards El Paso.
Staying with a warm showers host(Photo below) who had opened up his garden for southern tier cyclists. He told us that his locality has very historic connections. It's part of the trail the Spaniards used as they travelled up from a Mexico.
We are only a few miles from the Mexican border tonight. Every now and then a helicopter goes over, apparently part of the border patrol.
