Still heading west. We are on our way to Big Bend National Park, but it was too far for one days drive-400 miles. Texas is HUGE! We are back in the desert and loving it.
President’s day in Uvalde, Texas. Flags courtesy of the the Noon Lions Club. Mostly we saw desert bushes and prickly pear.
Mixed with lots of ranches. All we saw was the gates, the ranch was way away. We got to our campground and it was 82 degrees, no shade, dusty, hot and tired from driving 5 hours.
We nabbed the only campsite with shade. In fact we are the only people camped in this campground. The mesquite are leaving out, or there would be no shade. A bird nest in the tree by the bus. No one lives there yet this year.
Moth, mesquite leafing out, sap dripping out of a limb where they cut it, coreopsis, fuzzy caterpillar. If this hot, dry desert air does not dry these pine needles I don’t know what else will.
The rest of the campground. We are on Amistad lake by Del Rio, Texas. It is part of the Rio Grande and Mexico is across the water. The park is an international park, in two countries.
The picnic tables are cool looking. The lake is really low, drought here. I got a photo of it with the telephoto.
Our cool back yard. John watching sunset .

Ground on fire at the end of the sunset. Been getting lots of work done on the masterpiece while driving.
Our view in the morning. Amistad lake from the bridge.
