Like yesterday-no where to stop-but at least it’s cool. Now see baby goats-mom takes them away. But wait-ALPACA across street-they pose for pictures. See biker coming other way-Bill lives down rd-family came in 70s & own over 2,000 ares -brother own ranch w/goats. BOB (sag from group) passes us-asks if everything ok-much better today. Get into town-take picture at Johnson City sign group bikes up-all go to Best Western. Can’t ck in until 2-all go to eat at Pecan Street Brewery-place is packed-good food. Walk back & take nap-watch tv for rest of night. HOME TOMORROW.
