Got home yesterday.
That circuitous route on the second day driving…
…resulted in from this…
…to this.
It took a few years, but now we have been in every county in Texas. 254 altogether.
It’s good to be home.
Home again
Monday
South and east through Matdor, Dickens, Jayton, Haskell, Throckmorton, Albany, and Baird. Ended up at Junction on the edge of the Hill Country.
Found a scrub-jay.
And friend.
The trip home
Plan A. Drive up Poudre Canyon to Walden, Craig, Meeker, and camp out for the night at Rifle Falls State Park. From there, work my way south through Western Colorado, Ouray, Silverton, Durango, then southeast back through Texas. Probably six days.
Plan B. Drive straight home.
We’re on plan B. I can make it in three days. Stopped for the night at Palo Duro Canyon State Park.
A celebration of life
John B and me. Brothers for 65 years.
There are no words.
I got here a day early
That gets me a little time to catch-up on work email. Not enough time to catch up on work, but enough to respond to everybody.
And a walk before it gets too hot. Yes, in Colorado a person can still walk before it gets too hot in the day, even when the highs are in the nineties in the afternoons!
And a catch-up with family at dinnertime. Brian smoked a brisket. Best dinner I’ve had this trip by a mile!
