Spring Break 2016

We left Austin Friday afternoon in a fairly heavy rain storm and stopped for the night in Sonora, TX. Saturday morning we pressed on to Alpine, TX where we are staying in a small private campground just south of town called La Vista RV Park. It gets a pretty high score: small, inexpensive, simple, clean, well-cared-for, quiet, half a day’s drive away from all sorts of fun places. We’ll show you some of them.

Sunrise over Sonora Texas.

Pictures from our first evening at La Vista. Wild Turkeys. Mule Deer – half a dozen staying in the cover. A herd of Javelinas – must have been 20 of them.  And a treetop Mockingbird.

Sunday morning we went for a long hike on Hillside Trail above Sul Ross State University. Although it is said that there is a desk atop one of the hills, we were unable to find it and just wandered the desert hills. By the way, the bird is a Pyrrhuloxia, sometimes called a Desert Cardinal.

Hope you like these. More soon.
