Terrific journal, Richard.  Thanks for posting on crazyguy, I"m enjoying the read.  Tho I live in ole El Paso now, I lived in San Antonio for years and my family was in El Paso.  I now own property in San Antonio, still.  So I have made "the crossing" a hundred times but never on bike so you journal is fascinating to me. I'm dreaming up some of that route with my TREK 7200 & trailer.  I'll be thinking of you on my next "crossing" as well, as I'll make a pit stop in honor of youse threes stopping at the old convenience store in Fort Hancock, there since before convenience stores became a national phenomena.  I will post here again as I complete your journal of El Paso to San Antonio.

Hello, I'm out of El Paso, and those places are still there. That unusual owner run, one of a kind convenience store is worth the stop. 
I'm curious, did you cycle from there up to IH-10 and then along the freeway to Sierra Blanca?  Or did you go down 148 back to Hwy 20?
Thanks for posting those two stops.  I'll hit them on my run that way.
