Or do, if you wanna screw with the people you are camping with.<\/li>\n<li>Woke up to a cloudy day and had to put on the rain gear again at breakfast.<\/li>\n<li>A shitty cold front had rolled in. The rain wasn&#8217;t bad but the crosswinds blew us all over the road.<\/li>\n<li>The temperature dropped to the low 50&#8217;s<\/li>\n<li>Not many stops made and almost 400 miles done. Sorry for the lack of pictures.<\/li>\n<li>Long wide open straight roads that seem to go on forever.<\/li>\n<li>First time almost running out of fuel. We made it just in time to Iraan, TX to fill up. Time to get a gas can for insurance.<\/li>\n<li>Tons of wildlife spotted, including a boar and a fox. Unfortunately they were all road kill.<\/li>\n<li>The flat scenery morphed into desert mesas.<\/li>\n<li>Decided to get a hotel to dry off, shower, and resupply in Ft Stockton. Just shy of 400 miles today and crossed over 3000 for the trip in total.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/115-e1475896629217.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/115-e1475896629217-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/115-e1475896629217-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/115-e1475896629217-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/211-e1475896650886.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/211-e1475896650886-700x933.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/211-e1475896650886-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/211-e1475896650886-1400x1866.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/311.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/311-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/311-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/311-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/410-e1475896665975.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/410-e1475896665975-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/410-e1475896665975-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/410-e1475896665975-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m putting this post up a day early because we holed ourselves in a hotel room in Fort Stockton, TX to recoup, warm up, and shower after 8 hrs in wind, rain, and cold. \u200bSunday 10\/2\/16 &amp; Monday 10\/3\/16 Time to relax.
