Day 26 – Short… not Sweet
12th July 2018 Today was pretty quiet.. I was heading for Texarkana on the Texas/Arkansas border but I only rode about 160 miles. Early on I did see a sign that said ‘Worlds Largest Bowie Knife’, and I thought well why not. It was off route in a town called, unsurprisingly, Bowie. As it was …
