On the Road Again

We left San Marcos yesterday morning around 10 A.M.  It was 77 degrees when we got up, with 84% humidity! All of the windows in the house were covered in condensation. I thought it was on the inside and tried to dry it off when I discovered it was all on the outside! I good time to be leaving I think.

We stopped at San Angelo State Park for the night. This morning we went in to San Angelo and did a bit of exploring. Unfortunately many of the quaint shops, including the bordello museum, are closed on Mondays, but the proprietor of the bookstore we were interested in, Cactus Book Shop, showed up so we found some new reading material and admired their antique and collectible books. It's definitely the source for Texas and western history. We loaded up with ice and headed back to camp for some R and R, reading and a cold beer. With the weather so hot (high 90's) we're not too active outside, but the scenery is nice. The grasses are drying, and with the scattered mesquite trees and the flat land around the reservoir the area resembles an African savanna.
Orioles and scissor-tailed fly catchers, cardinals and other song birds sail around in the trees and there has been a woodpecker checking out the truck. As long as he doesn't start pecking holes in it I think we're safe. We'll stay here again tonight, then tomorrow morning we head for New Mexico.
