The road in and out of Prado. The area on the right is usually dry.
Evacuation- to cross or not to cross.
Okay okay -- crossing the creek - will we float - perhaps with the use of the airbags.
Not a problem as high as we are. Now to the other park for a few days.
Got Ark????? Sites 71 & 72--- anyone for camping or boating??
I think this is the float road to Hawaii--now if Bil can just get a GPS route we are on the way.
Picnic anyone?? Perhaps in better days.
The pavilion area and bridge leading to it across what had been a small creek.
The lake is so high the park bench and table are almost under water.

Arizona and back home again
2010 trip around the country for a total of 7538 miles on the coach and additional miles on the "towed"
it is always nice to see this sign
sunrise on a neat tree in Rancho Jurupa Park
The Apache trail - our side trip on a long (35 mi) dirt road out of Mesa and some of the views we saw follow
another sandstone rock
impromptu stone hinge in the mountains
A couple of shots of the road on our side trip-you can see the road in the front of the photo as just a tan stripoverview of the rivertop of a cactus -very different
interesting plant
Bil named this rock Anvil Rock
Sunset in Mesa AZ
an old elementary school house seen on a side trip- closed in 1932 and had only 14 students
Bil overlooking the canyon
Bridge across the lake
Cactus in varied color.

Across Texas for a month and a half
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.
Papa helping Pamela learn to ride bike so she can take of the training wheels.
Aunt Jackie help Pam carve her pumpkin while she was visiting Texas.
Pam's school did a 'trunk or treat" and we decorated her trunk for the harvest festival.
