But it’s so nice to be home to the full-size keyboard and the big curved monitor.
So much workspace on that screen to work with.
We make the computer setup work while we’re on the road.
I was just thinking
Sixty years ago, Judy and I got married.
Sixty-five years ago, I was a 15-year-old kid on a bicycle delivering newspapers.
Thursday
We were going to stay at South Llano River for a couple nights, but the heat is wearing us down. (And by “us” I mean “me”.) We drove on to Choke Canyon State Park for our last night out.
Time to get home to the air conditioning. We can still be out in the heat there, but we can ration our exposure better from home base.
And now it’s Friday, and we’re there.
Two and a half months. Nine thousand miles. It’s good to be home.
We’re planning our next trip.
Wednesday
South Llano River State Park
The stop at Lum’s BBQ for an early dinner on the way in.
When we got here, we realized it was a perfect storm of conditions. South Llano River is a Dark Skies Park; no outside lights at night. The sky was cloudless. It’s a new moon; no competition from the moonlight. This was the height of the Perseids meteor shower. We stayed up into the wee hours. It was a slow start. After 11pm we started getting some shooting stars. The height was supposed to be around 4am. We didn’t stay up that late. We called it a night.
Morning light
A last look down into the canyon.
And south from the Texas Panhandle to Central Texas.
