The road to our campground in Boerne TX- after the storms went through.
This bucket was originally used to lower people into the caverns.
The 1932 ticket office for the caverns. It is no longer used.
Bil in the Cascade Caverns
Water flowing in the caves.
After the caverns were closed for the day this cow came visiting and looking in the windows of the buildings. It finally turned and walked back the way it came.
Early morning feeding in the campground.
This bug was on the underside of the coach ready to hike along as we were preparing to head down the road.
A couple of the interesting buildings in the town where LBJ grew up, Johnsonville TX.
The airplane LBJ used to fly into the ranch in as the larger jets could not land here.
Another glorious sunset over the bay.
The bay near Port Aransas TX.
When you are up with the birds the Lord blesses you with a neat sunrise.
The road to the dock of our Portland campground was flooded out due to all the storms.
The dock and bay after things cleared and allowed for fishing.
Some night fishing on the dock in the bay.
The night catch at the local dock.
Sunset--not sure how the double sun happened as I used a digital camera so it should not be superimposed. But it makes for a neat photo.
Fishing when it's raining- one way to fish and not be concerned about getting wet from above.
Every once in a while we run across wide loads and have to pass with care or follow if there are not enough lanes.
One of the little roads we discovered while out driving.
The trees in the Portland are are really bent by the wind.
A white tree or a roosting place for the wild birds.
After the hurricanes you have to watch venturing out on your pier. This one has part missing about halfway out.
These piers have been all but destroyed by the storms.
Amazing what you see being moved by a barge on the river. This looks like a city but it looks like offshore rigs.
A couple of cars we saw in a showroom of a restoration company. Not sure why one would want a car with oriental dishes etc all over it.
Of coarse it is easy to tell this is a Texan's car.
Bil and some of the Red Snapper's that were caught on an ocean trip.
This was the first of the two ocean trips Bil took and the boats limit.
To get to your home you have to cross the river and if a tree is growing in it, you build your walk around the tree.
A local version of Stone Hinge.
An elk in the same field we saw the fawn in a later photo.
Decorating a fence with used boots. This is only part of the "design".
Spotted this fawn on one of our drives.
