Many places

the landing of a balloon



BIG camper and little camper!!!!

Those little dotes in the first picture are all hot air balloons.  I thought the contrast in our camper and the BIG one with 9 window shades on the outside was interesting! 
We settled in to a KOA campsite today about 4:00 PM  For almost a week we have had little or no e-mail or cell phone service. We departed Big Bend NP in Texas this morning.  That will be the last NP we visit on this trip.  Counting the NP we have been in: Teddy Roosevelt in ND, Devils Tower in WY (not a NP), Yellowstone in WY, Grand Teton in WY, Bryce in Utah, Zion in Utah, Grand Canyon in AR, Carlsbad Caverns in NM, Guadalupe in TX and last Big Ben in TX.  So far it has been much fun.  Yesterday we went past the 4000 mile mark.  Perhaps one of the many highlights has been the time we spent in Angel Fire NM with a high school friend.  We saw many elk, many huge mule tail deer and other wild life as well.  It is high, over 8000 feet and the elk and deer were all over the landscape.
Tonight we are doing clothes and getting a nice hot shower for the first time in several nights.  We will travel to Waco TX tomorrow and stay there for 2 nights and then on to Peach Tree City GA.  We still have plans to arrive in Naples about the 24th or so.
A sad note.  Our neighbor, RD Brown passed away last week.  I am not sure how old he was but his two children are about 24 and 21.  We did not interact with them as neighbors but regardless to see a family lose someone with children that age is so sad. 
Our weather has been perfect.  As I sit at the camp site now in San Angelo TX it is sunny and about 85 or so.  Last night we camped in the high camp site in Big Bend and this morning it was very windy but warm.  Last night after we made camp we drove to several over looks of the Rio Grande River and looked across towards Mexico. 
Our Tiny Camper is serving us well.  We have things down pat now so can stop and be set up in a short time.  It took a few times to get the putting up of the side tent but now we do it in perhaps 5 min or so.  Have not used our 10 X 10 canopy much as we have not needed it.  Well we pretty much are in a new camp site each day. 
Enough for now.  No FP as it is afternoon!
