Yesterday we stayed in Del Rio. I had a migraine all night so did not sleep around noon we went for a walk in Amistade state park it was just down a road that they had closed. I have never in my life saw so many deer.It is hunting season down here so I wonder if all the deer moved into the park.

After about 2 miles we saw why they had closed the road it was flooded.

So today we left for Marathon on the way there we stopped at Seminole state park to see the rock art. This is the valley we had to walk down into to see them.

You can see the park office where we started from.

This is the main cave or over hang what ever you want to call it.

This one looked like a cat but they said it was a raccoon 

And this one they said was a deer ya right.

This is the one I asked what kind of car they had because they drew pictures of the keys. They said it was house keys.

no idea what this was.

The swallow had a nest there.

See the 2 names these 2 guys worked on the railroad back in 1845.

Looking out from the cave.

no idea

picture is not very good this one there was 4 people one had wings and you could see there feet.

Some neat rocks down there it looked like sponge.

I wish I had the good camera for this shot as soon as I took it it walked away.

This is how big the cave is see the people at the other end. See all that loose gravel with the holes dug in it. They were made from some school excavating it they were only allowed  8 hours to dig there must have been hundreds of them. All that gravel has straw in it from the mats and the loose rocks were from the ovens that they had made.The art on the walls goes under the gravel 3 to 5 feet because they kept bringing more gravel in here to make more ovens. they used these caves 4000 years ago I think she said for about a 1000 years.

Then we moved on to Marathon RV park. It took awhile to find the office I love this sign.

Do you see us over there this was the picture from town.See the mountains in behind us.

We walked over to town to see this building from the park I thought it was a church but it ended up being a bed and breakfast.

I am sure it must belonged to a bunch of hippies Its Evs organic B&B

Every town has one of these houses we have one down the road from us you can just be happy you don't live next door to them.

You even have the bee house on the roof.

This is Texas to me we do love guns down here.

This is our view.

I saw a bunch of these I think they are grouse not sure.

One flew up on a post so I could get a better picture.

Del Rio

We are in Del Rio Texas this is day 2 here.

We were going to move to Seminole State Park its only 45 minutes down the road but the wind picked up so we stayed here and drove the tracker to the park. Some people say its the Grand Canyon of south Texas. I would not say that but I have not seen the real Grand Canyon and if this is any thing like the real one I am going to be disappointed. We hiked one of the trails it was nice lots to see. Loved this first sign how are you suppose to  see the sights when you are looking for snakes.

The trail led along the top of the canyon.

There was lots of caves along it but no way to get to them.

And like always me doing the big jump.

many interesting rock formations.

The river was pretty dry

Always on the edge 

Ok Brenda no throwing rocks at me ether.

We saw a few fossils kind of neat.

Saw some plants we have not seen before.

And this guy kept popping up I was sure he was following us.

Brenda being brave she was yelling at me I can't get any closer.

I know I put way to many pictures on here but live with it since I have not bean blogging every day you can put up with the pictures.

Tomorrow we are going back so we can see the pictographs you have to go on a guided tour to see them and it starts at 10 am. so we are going to stop and do them on the way to Marathon the next stop.

Still in Texas

        We are in San Antonio at Braunig lake RV resort. We have been here for 2 days now. Its a nice park and about 8 miles from down town.

And there is a lake, there was a bunch of people fishing, catch and release.

Today we went to the Alamo it was way smaller than I thought it would be.

If you read every sign and display in the museum I don't think you would be there for an hour. 

I guess this is the front of the place and have no idea who the girl is in the picture.

After that we went for the river walk.

The river runs through the city and they have this walkway along both sides of it.

Its a very nice walk we went a couple of miles I have no idea how far the walkway goes.

And we were told to do it at night time I could see all the Christmas lights in the trees so I bet it is beautiful. But we are not going to do it.

If you like city's and shopping make sure you stop here but its not for me I would rather be out walking through the bush or up a mountain with the wildlife. We are heading to my kind of place next Big bend National Park. Its the most wilderness place in the lower 48 states. And the darkest for star gazing. Its down by the Mexican Border. It has lots of trails so we want to do lots of walking.

Texas

Today we didn't drive far only got to Beaumont Texas. We started talking about going to Arizona this year. It is going to be a warmer winter they are saying so this might be the year for it. So we pulled in here to do some checking on the internet to see what there is to do in new Mexico and Arizona this winter. And if it does get to cold we can always head south we know a couple of nice places we could go to again.

This is at the park we are at not sure why we have to beware of the canal 

And they have a small lake here.

Most of the trailers are from Texas so I guess its not a snow bird hang out.

On the road again

So we are on the road again. Today we crossed the Mississippi from Natchez to Vidalia Louisiana. so far we have driven 1920 kilometers. Today we had a late start had to watch Trudeau get sworn in and see who the new cabinet was. Brenda is suffering from a bad back and I have had 2 migraines so nothing new with me. Feel sorry for Brenda no place to get comfortable it always takes her awhile to figure out what works and what doesn't. 

I stole this picture from the last time we were here at this park that's a picture of Myrtle wow that seems like forever and we were towing the Smart...We got here late so no new pictures It was a cloudy day today but we are sitting here with the fans on and all the windows open so I can not complain about no sun. Tomorrow we will be in Texas not sure where yet. I will try and get the camera out and get some new pictures. But what fun is there in taking pictures at a Walmart parking lot.

Brenda says hi.
