Day 27 Carrollton Tx to Grand Saline Tx 87.4 mi 9 hr

Some of my plans worked out. I beat the traffic in the morning by leaving at 5:30a, which necessitated riding in the dark for close to two hours. I was planning on staying in Wills Point, but they did not have a motel. I went another 17 miles to Grand Saline which has a very nice Salt City Inn, I called ahead this time. I've been staying in relatively larger towns hoping for motels, but it did not pay off today. Some times the smaller motels are not even listed on the internet, but my luck ran out today. That's ok, I'm closer to JAX. This part of Texas has a lot more and larger trees more reminiscent of Illinois than the almost desert like western part of the state.
