A bit cooler today and partly cloudy and a nice breeze blowing. Temps in the upper 70's, but a nice day.
We got a lot of little things done and are pretty well ready to go. We will have to wait on the lp gas man to fill our tank as it is about empty. He should be her mid morning and then we will be ready to go. Evelyn will do another load of clothes and then all will be clean and ready for another road trip without having to stop to wash clothes. She went to Hondo today to the store and bought groceries so we should be good to go for a few days. We wanted things that were quick to fix as we will be on the road for a few days getting to our campground near Big Bend as well as sightseeing after we get settled in. We will have an opportunity to get some supplies in Marathon, TX but that will be the closest place, but about 75 miles from the campground. We will have to fill the motor home there so we will have fuel to get back out to civilization.
We are looking forward to getting back on the road but sad to have to say goodbye to such nice people here at the S.K.P. park. But we promised to be back in the spring for a while. Lots of things to do and places to go and see between now and spring. Time will tell if we get them all done in one trip.

The photo today is of Main Street at the Alamo movie set near Brackettville, TX. It is easy to see how they can shoot different scenes to show a completely different view and the viewer not realize it is the same set. You can just visualize a couple of horseman riding into town with the dust from the flying hoofs as they come to a stop in front of the Cantina. There is a water trough for the horses and a well supplied salon for the riders as well as a couple of pretty Senoritas to catch their eye. One could write their own western story with a little imagination.
