Hanging out in Van Horn, TX

There is nothing to do in Van Horn. It’s Monday of the MLK holiday and what little there is to do is closed up tight. The cute caf\u00e9. The few shops. I took a 2 hour walk up and down the main drag and the (second) most interesting thing I saw was the El Capitan hotel<\/a> \u2013 if I’m ever back here and not on a budget I’m totally staying there. I snagged a decent lunch at Chuy’s<\/a>, which is home of the “John Madden Haul of Fame”(sic)\u2026 I have no idea what they’re hauling but the story here tells why John Madden is involved<\/a>. So I spent the day planning, watching the inauguration, and other tv. Fun times.<\/p>\n

I’ve got 630 miles to go. I’m planning to ride it in 8 days. This is the route I plan to take<\/a>. I’m going to do a little bit of fun sightseeing along the way, so it’s not the most direct. But I’ll still get done a couple days before my flight out of Austin. After spending some time looking at the route I’m starting to look forward to west Texas a bit more.<\/p>\n

\nTexas is just too damn big.<\/em><\/p>\n

As I was planning the rest of the trip, I was thinking about the road traveled thus far. Here are some random and somewhat disorganized stats:<\/p>\n
