We hit the road early and stopped at I HOP in Del Rio for some breakfast. While we were eating, we ran into Skip and his family who were starting their journey home to Manetoba. John played golf with him quite of bit this past winter.
After eating, we hit the road west. Our first stop was to see the Pecos River. The level has dropped considerably over the last year or so due to the severe drought in this area.
Our next stop was Langtry where we spent some time in the museum and then we strolled through the cathus garden. We could once again see the damage done by the drought. Many of the species of cathus we saw before were no longer there; however, John and I were able to see some beautiful blooms. It was a busy place today with many visitors from all across the United States.
On our way back to the fort, we stopped at Wal Mart to pick up a little fresh produce and a few other items we needed to see us through until we leave. On the way out of town, a stop was made at Sonic for a couple of strawberry shakes. Once we were back on the fort, we saw Lloyd and Ginny to say good-bye and wish them safe travels and then headed over to see Gene and Jeannie. We had supper with them at Burger and Shake and bid them farewell as they are heading out tomorrow morning. The RV park is looking pretty empty right now.
