Southern Tier Episode 12

The twelfth episode of my bike tour across the United States in 2020. Fort Hancock, TX to Marfa, TX.

The foreshadowing in some of these videos as it relates to COVID is quite interesting - many of the thoughts you have are what was going through my (and I'm sure many other's heads) at about the same time...having no clue that it would end up erasing over a year of our lives in many ways. Being on a tour in the midst of it all had to have been odd - and I enjoy seeing how those early days varied from state to state, or even city to city as you passed through. Even though it is a few years post, I am enjoying following along - thanks for sharing!

This must have been sort of a surreal experience with empty roads. As you called it an isolation ride!

The tethered balloon is part of TARS. "U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Air and Marine Operations (AMO) uses the Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) to provide long-range detection of low-altitude aircraft at the radar's maximum range."

Interesting, thank you.
