Our adventure actually began this morning as we said farewell to Liz and Derya at breakfast and took lots of pictures before driving off.  Our next stop was Kenedy TX where Josh is working at an oil rig site.

The air is filled with dust flying and flairs from the dozen or so drilling sites surrounding this little slice of parking lot with crushed cement, old trailers and pickup trucks.  If this is a resort…well, the pictures say it all.  Yes, it is an oil town in every sense of the word and our LilyPad and Ribbit looked very out of place.   We took Josh home to his trailer after dinner.  Oil drilling sites are very scary looking places.  Flags telling you if it is safe to come near, all vehicles must back into the parking spaces just in case an emergency occurs and a huge fiery flair just a few feet from the trailer where they sleep, burning off the natural gas that isn’t profitable enough for them to build a gathering system .  Josh’s site is still flying a green flag so it is OK to come near.  Scary as I think this place is, the flag is green and he does make good money.  Back at our “resort” the site is so tilted that the front wheels are off the ground and if you set a can on the floor, it rolls and smacks into the front of the RV.  Ah yes, the adventure has begun.
