Plans For Future

ROCKPORT TEXAS

DECEMBER 27, 2024

A nice morning greeted us today. In fact it was so nice we hardly stayed inside for anything. We hit up the City Municipal Park for some good walking in the trees and brush in order to stay out of the wind somewhat and it turned out wonderful. The OFM got in a very comfortable bit over 2 miles. Here are some nice scenes from the walk.

At the early start was some sort of soccer event going on with quite a few kids and parents doing soccer things that we know nothing about but they were very into whatever it was. Glad to see families in joint events.

The next thing we noticed was that the wild areas of the park had a lot of blooming flowers of several sorts. Here is one we did get a picture of. It sure was a bright flower.

The next thing to catch our attention was all the trees that were really showing off their gnarly limbs for everyone to enjoy. This area has loads of really twisted trees to enjoy seeing.

On down the trail a ways was this scene of a fellow and his pup enjoying the day also. It would make a nice painting we think.

Then we stopped to get a good look at the park map. To our surprise we finally noticed that the trails that are complete at this time are in blue and have the distance from point to point shown on the map. Now we can get more accurate  walking distance to help our exercise effort.

Several folks have asked about if the OFM has given up his art efforts. The answer is no. Since we were stuck in north Alabama for about eighteen months with no fishing  almost all the time due to the many difficulties we had there, we are making up time on fishing since we happen to be in a good fishing area at exactly the right time for the fishing to be better than average. We still have some art efforts sitting politely for their turn at the OFM when the mood is right.

We make no promises but for now we plan to roll some more some time starting middle to late January depending on the weather. We want it to be warm enough to be boondocking comfortably  near the Rio Grande River when we do roll.

Every one have fun tomorrow.
