Left out of Sam Houston National Forest (the restroom of spiders!!!) with the sunrise. Got chased by dogs three times before lunch. You would be surprised how much energy you didn't know you had when Cujo is bearing down on your ass. Thanks to William in Dolen Tx, who saw me on the road and waited at the junction of 223 and 787 with a glass of ice water and conversation. He said he allways gives water to cyclists, and rides about eight miles a day personally. Fun fact: stock law in Tx states if an animal leaves private property and comes on the pavement you can shoot it. William carries a pellet gun for the dogs when he goes riding.
Stopped in Rye Tx, for lunch. Haven't had cell signal since crossing the Trininty River. Not much to do in Rye unless your a Baptist or a logger.
Slept in Kountze Tx. Apparently Kenneth Topmlait is drilling in Kountze right now. I wish I had known. I wouldn't have minded the conversation or the meal. You haven't lived untill you walk into a hardware store in Kountze wearing skintight lycra, and a burly fellow in overalls and no shirt says, (and I shit you not) You ain't from around here is you boy?"

Ha...that really does suck the ass. What are the odds that we'd both be in a place as podunk as Kountze at the same time? Really wish I had known, though...could have gotten you a bed and a hot meal.
Regardless, its awesome as hell that you decided to go through with this. Keep your phone charged up and maybe me and Aris will run into you in a few weeks when we head off...
