95 degree days already and 6 water bottles emptied (refilled in the morning) and nearly 4 awesome Trilab waterbottled worth. Reached Van Horn, Texas today on Interstate 10. Van Horn is similarr to the small town I grew up in but a lot hotter. The population of Van Horn is about 2,000 and directly south of the Carlsbad Caverns. It’s got a lot of hotels, but for tonight I call Days Inn on the main stretch my home away from home
