Del Rio

 

This is a sunset at Broke Mill. 

This park is home for the next four nights. I need to catch up on some shopping and laundry. Work, work, work. 

 

Door on left is wash room, middle door is the fitness center, fully loaded with treadmill,weights, elliptical  machine and a couple of bikes. The third door is the game room, puzzles, and books as well as video library. Swimming pool around back. No heat yet there but as weather heats up, the cool water feels better anyway.

 

This clever bird feeder is a five gallon drum with PVC piping that brings the cracked corn to the birds. The PVC pipes are surrounded by barbed wire to keep out large birds and varmints.

 

We had our own blind with two chairs to sit and watch the vibrant red cardinals, the browner female cardinals, finches, and a lot of doves.

There were large black birds they were Ravens.

 

This is the Fiddlers Hall. 

Our first night there, a Thursday, the owner of the campground cooked for everyone.(His tradition, every Thursday) We had pork loin, fresh cornbread, pinto beans,and mashed potatoes with slices of pork in them. For dessert we were treated to wild berry cobbler and vanilla ice cream.  After dinner, the park staff entertained with music on the guitar, base and acoustic, electric piano, and Mike the owner, played the violin. It was so much fun. They played for two hours. We were back to the trailer by 9:00 pm. Gosh just like a couple of seniors.

Before we leave here we will visit the Amistad National Recreation Area, the town of Del Rio, the Val Verde Winery, and the Whitehead Memorial Museum, where Judge Roy Bean is buried.

Oh yes, The part of the world called land of the midnight sun is.......the Arctic.

I miss Michigan and all in it, but we have a bit more to see. Be well.

What State boasts of a southeast panhandle, Alaska, Florida or Oklahoma?
