On the Road Again

On this last Tuesday we meet up with Diane's cousin Norman in Hidalgo. He was dropping a load of produce at the terminal and had to wait until all the proper paperwork came through and he could drop the trailer. After talking for a couple of hours we left him there. On Friday we moved out of Mission and spent the night in Zapata. Small park on Falcon Lake. Suppose to be a national bass fishing tourney there starting the day I am writing this. On Saturday we moved to Crystal City. Home of the Spinach Festival and it even has a statue of Popeye in the center of town. The park is actually 3 miles out of town on the Nueces River.

These ducks were just ahead of the spot we were given for the night. A little ways behind us is the Nueces River.

In the center of this shot is the first deer that came out for some food and drink. It is hard to see because they blended into the background very well.


There are a couple of deer at the waters edge near the center of the picture. This was by far one of the best parks we have stayed in during our travels. Most of the sites are in the trees and a lot of them back up to the Nueces River.
