Sept. 22

We arrived at the Guadalupe RV resort a little after noon and are now settled in or space. We took a walk down by the river. It is quite wide and very shallow at this point. Very little rain in this part of Texas this summer. We say 15 of 16 deer feeding on the grass between the cabins and the river. Among them was 3 bucks, one with only one antler on the right side. We sat and watched them for quite some time and then something spooked them and off they went to the cover of the woods but they stopped and looked back, seeing nothing the began to eat again and work back toward us. Beautiful animals for sure.
There are several others already here and only a few yet to come for the rally that starts on Wednesday. We spent the afternoon visiting and catching up on one anothers travels. Some are full time RV'ers like we are. One couple originally from Carmel, IN have been on the road for over 9 years and are still having a great time. They work-camp at the Guadalupe State Park not to far from here. They work there during the winter, if you can call it winter. Sometimes it gets down to 32 degrees but generally not.
One lives in Sacramento, CA and spends the summer in Nebraska. He is here on his way back to Sacramento. The Wagonmaster, organizer of the rally, lives not too far away and one of the charter members lives here in Kerrville. A friend brought her by for a visit and she will be with us for some of the activities. She is 91 and not in good health, but it was good to see her again and talk over old times. Looking forward to a big day tomorrow.
