The tent in daytime configuration.
Jesse, just because.
A little mesquite fire the last night out.
An Inca Dove.
Having a thing with a blackbird.
One last javelina eyeballing us from the brush.
The dogs and javelina never had any issues with each other. We thought Jesse might be our javelina alarm every night, but we could hear them snuffling outside our tent and Jesse just slept through it. The dogs were great campers.
Piled the pups (and everything else) in the car this morning.
And drove home.
The dogs happy to be here while we unload.
Every morning was super wet whether it rained at night or not. Fog and dew, so we put the tent away wet this morning. Got it set up at home in the yard to dry it out just in time for the pouring down afternoon storm.
Maybe it will dry out tomorrow.
We’ve settled into a rhythm. When we arrive, Judy takes the dogs for a walk, and I set up the tent and put the cots in it. They’re kind of heavy. That takes about half an hour. Then I go for a walk and Judy turns the interior into a home in the course of another half hour. She has turned into the master organizer, keeping track of everything we have, where it is, and where it goes.
We went camping for three nights. Enjoyed being out in the elements. Extended for an extra night. Planning the next trip. There were things we didn’t need to take, and things we could have used but didn’t have, so we’ve already bought them. The adventure continues.
Here is where we were at Falcon State Park.
I’ve zoomed the map in on our camp site right in the middle of the frame. You can zoom out to explore. See if you can pick out the loop trail that goes all the way around the park. Sections are marked Whitebrush, Woodlands, Desert, Verdin, and Roadrunner, but they all tie together in a loop. Salineno Wildlife Preserve where we walk along the river is a little south, and Edinburg, where we live, is farther southeast.
