A SOLITARY WALK

Monte took advantage of the camp grounds policy of being able to wash rigs (water only-no soap) and gave our home a much needed bath. 

 

 

 

 

 

After spending time driving through the desert we had layers of dust, sand and dirt coating not only the rig but Monte’s truck as well.  (We took my car through the car wash last week)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided to take a walk. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I only intended to walk the short distance down to the swamp to see if the gator was sunning his self. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

He wasn't anywhere to be seen. 

 

 

 I ended up taking one of the trails and getting kind of turned around.

 

 

 

I kept hearing rustling in the scrub and let my imagination get the better of me. 

 

 

I really expected a gator to cross my path. 

Finally, I retraced my steps and found my way back to the road. 

 

 

 Instead of returning to the campground

 

 

 

I continued on

 

 

 

and ended up at the Visitor Center.

This poor little guy thought he could out run a car.

This is the boardwalk around the rear of the Visitor Center 

 

 

The rustling I heard turned out to be a squirrel digging in the dirt.

I hadn’t worn a hat so I could feel the heat from the sun beating on my head.

This little guy was curious about me but I guess I got too close for his comfort 

so he quickly darted off. 

That little blob is one of many turtles in this pond. 

The Ranger Station

I was glad when I turned the bend in the road and saw Monte applying a coat of wax to the front of the rig.

 

Hi Honey=looking good.

We really have enjoyed our stay at Davis Bayou and would definitely stay again if we come back this way.
