Simple Pleasures

 

Adventure Location: Falcon County Park Texas

Adventure Date: 2-22-2023

This next picture came from our walk this morning. The area is right across the road from the Castle looking away. Monday this area had well over thirty good size rigs camped on it plus a couple of small van type rigs and a couple of tent campers. There was still room for more but that was about the population for the weekend. Here we are Wednesday morning and most of the campers are gone on down the road. This is what the whole camping area here and at the state park next door has experienced this holiday weekend.

The OFM thinks this whole camping area could handle 200 hundred rigs to roll in now.

A bit later on the walk we happened to turn a corner and this photo needed to be taken. It is extremely representative of the general pleasantness for viewing around here this time of the year. A bit of south Texas shrubbery pointing to a normal south Texas bright blue sky with light clouds for entertainment. To us it is a nice beginning of a great day in the Chihuahua Desert of USA.

Starting The Day Right

In the road nearby was this set of lonesome bird tracks in the sand. They were really fresh and crisp but we could not see a bird around the area.

It is amazing all the different tracks we get to see here in the desert sands when we take a bit of time to relax and enjoy the simple things we have around us.

A fantastic major event has happened with the teams today. The OFM mostly finished washing the Castle from top to bottom. At 97F the OFM got a bit hot and had to get out of the sun before he totally finished. He has had four heat strokes and has to be extra careful. But we will forgive him if he finishes the job tomorrow. There was dirt on the Castle from the dinosaur days of the earth.

We are waiting for a friend here that we will help with a repair on his rig when we get to Del Rio. He is waiting for a package that is in the mail with parts. Then we will relocate up to Del Rio where there is an RV parts house and professional help if the repair turns out to be too much for two ancient codgers to handle. The temps north of Del Rio are too cold for another week anyway.

That is all for tonight. We do not have wild and exciting events here if we are lucky but we do usually have tooooo much fun joking with each other.
