Tomorrow morning we’re leaving for Bandera to pick up the bus. The repair shop hasn’t got everything done, but they fixed the major problem; the grinding noise the front slide made when we brought it in. For a couple other things, they’re still waiting for parts, but done or not, it seems like time to take the bus back and move on with our plans. Our plans are to stay out for a few days in the motorhome, then bring it back here to Sandpipers by the end of the week. Over the weekend we’ll pack it up and by Monday or so should be ready to move it to Port Aransas for the Summer. Time to re-establish our beach house. Normally, by April, we’d be talking about our plans to start our summer trip north in May. This year, we’ve decided not to attend that accounting conference in Las Vegas that always triggers our leaving. We’ll just stay here in Texas for as long as we want, probably all summer. We plan to visit the kids in Colorado in the fall.
Tomorrow we drop the coach off at the repair shop again so they can finish up the slide seals. With that taken care of we’re clear to head out for real. 
…and we’re not due back to the shop in Pipe Creek until Thursday, but we need to get back in touch. We’re leaving tomorrow for Bandera or thereabouts. 
When we got here we discovered no cellphone and no Wifi, so can’t stay long. Don’t want to be out of touch at this time of year (busy season). Maybe I can find a hotspot at the Visitor Center. When you get this, it means I found a signal to send and receive. 
It wasn’t a heroic pace to spread it over four different days. It came out to less than forty miles of walking.
I got to see a lot of stuff. A forest like a jungle. Lakes, trails, trees, hanging moss, blinds, vines, sun, clouds, fog, an old cemetery. At the south end of Jaguarundi Trail I watched a farmer in Mexico working his fields. At the end of Vireo Trail, looking across the Rio Grande, I identified 17 different birds I was able to put on my Tamaulipas, Mexico list. Altogether, I got to see 60 bird species, including Harris’s Hawk, Gray Hawk, Greater Roadrunner, Chuck-wills-widow, Brown-crested Flycatcher, and Altamira Oriole. I watched a bobcat in the distance.
