Beam me up, count me in. Three, two one, let’s begin. Let’s get this out of the way. Caprock Canyon is a special place and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to spend time here. Even if we have to change sites 3 times. Worth it! You should visit it. Let’s finish off last…
In this episode, we will tell you all about our night and morning at Abilene State Park. Then, we will tell you all about our journey to Caprock Canyon State Park. If you stick around until the very end, we will let you in on a secret. Despite the forecasts, it did not rain…
I had a dream last night that I was a cowboy riding north towards the heat. My horse was grey, and ran all day and never was a quitter. But I drive a van, for gas I pay and I travel with a shitter. Morning walk was deferred by the possibility of rain and, more…
Hey forecasters, you might need to do a better job! We had a nice sleep. There was overnight rain as expected. We had all of the rain sensitive stuff put away indoors. This park has some really good trails. Our campsite has an unofficial path to the Onion Creek trail. It was misting but I…
We woke up. I went for a walk. It was nice. I saw a single deer and that deer showed me where their friends were. So I had a look. Post walk and breakfast we got all packed up and hit the road. Stop at the dump station was uneventful. Still 100% faeces free! Just…
I’ve really got to stop sleeping in. Or do I? Wind came up to shake us a bit in the night, but not for long. Two Coors Light resulted in a few too many 18 inch walks to the washroom during the night. Speaking of night and trips to the relief room. My paternal grandfather…
That there Lake Corpus Christi is a nice park. We had some fine sleep and a healthy amount of deferred awakening. Time to get on with the day. I suited up and headed out on the trails. They have a decent amount of trails and I walked most of them. It was cold at 8C…
T’was a dark and stormy night. Whoa! Pump the brakes and don’t pump up the jam! It was neither dark nor stormy. The cold front did go through, the wind did pick up, but there was no rain. We slept in. And that ends our story. Obviously that can’t be the case as everyday needs…
Good sleep except for the small details like the temperature went up over night and opening the window blinds to let in air meant letting in light. It is not dark here at all. So we turned on the A/C and chose the noise over the light. Morning walk was basically the same as yesterday…
Lovely sleep. Not too warm. Nice morning walk around some of the trails. Did not see wildlife. Did see signs of wildlife like furry poo (the kind coyotes make, not the kind people with stuffed tails attached to them make although I have no direct experience with that). Saw deer poo too. Various tracks of…
