A Testy Traveling Day
And the rewards at the end of the road
Today was moving day. We left Loyola Beach, Texas on the Eastern Gulf Coast and headed northwest to Amistad National Recreation Area in Del Rio, Texas.
It rained the whole way. Thus, no pictures. Well, three pictures of the wrecks we passed by s-l-o-w-l-y. (see one of them above)
Southern Texas is a lot of brush and ranchland. Interstates and highways don’t just go anywhere. We had to follow several second-hand state highways in a round-a-bout way to get here, and they were very bumpy.
Our air conditioner belt snapped. No problem though because we need the heat now anyway. The current temperature is only in the 40's.
We arrived safely to our campground straight across the street from one of the entrances to the National Park and the visitor center is five minutes down the road.
In the process of setting up, a long threaded bolt in the bedroom slide came unhooked. It sounded like it broke, but thank goodness it didn’t. Rich fixed it. And he will fix the air conditioner belt too.
Travel days may not always be glamorous but after getting all set up and eating a good supper, look what we found in the campground right behind our camper…
A herd of thirteen long black-tailed deer. What a sight! By the time I got out there with the camera ready there were only six left. They were as interested in me and my camera as I was in them.
I am right across the driveway from them. I am so excited to get an early start tomorrow morning exploring Amistad National Recreation Area.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Stay tuned for the journey!
