No Internet Yesterday in Fort Clark,--Brackettville, TEXAS

Yesterday was a good day.  I drove the SAG wagon after the 111 miler the day before.  Got to rest my weary legs and support the other cyclists on their 43 mile trek to Fort Clark.     Fort Clark was built around Las Moras Springs, on the site of a Comanche Indian village whose residents were driven out by the Calvary in 1840.  By controlling the springs the U.S. Military could both assure water for its own use and deny it to any foes, Mexican or Indian.  The springs were converted into a large swimming pool for visitors.  Got to enjoy the springs that evening.  Photo #1 shows our quarters.  Photo #2 is a man we met on the road cycling from San Diego to North Carolina for the Shriners.
