We have seen miles and miles of wildflowers along the road and mostly these Black Eyed
Susans. Photos do not capture the brilliance of the flowers. We have passed ranches along the road and seen donkeys, horses, cattle of various breeds, goats, sheep, and llamas. All of these animals calmly grazing on the grasses of the fields.
We stayed at a campground that was way off the beaten path among the ranches. There was no cell phone signal nor
Internet for communication with the world outside the area. It was a very nice campground with a pool, spa,
pavilion, and cafe. We had covered more miles than usual this day and were weary, so the spa was a welcome item. We took a nap, soaked in the spa, Dan took a short swim in the pool, then we lounged in the shade. Our lounge chairs were next to a couple who were throwing a retirement party for a friend that evening and they invited us to join them in the
pavilion. We had dinner at the cafe then got cleaned up for the party. We didn't stay long, but enjoyed the mini cupcakes and watching people dance to the music provided by a DJ.
On our way the next morning, May 12, to
Louisiana. The roads in Texas are great, well maintained and wide. I suppose the wide shoulders are there to
accommodate the farming equipment when regular traffic backs up behind them.
