Woke up early, drove to Davis Mountains State Park and decided, even if we didn’t get our money back, we would spend the next few days in this park. Only 3 other RV’s in our section and it’s beautiful everywhere we look. We took a drive around the town, not much to see, but this little state park is quiet, beautiful, has full hook ups, a few bits of snow on the ground and hardly any mud. Only drawback…we are off the grid so no phone calls or computers. Makes it a bit like “roughing it”.
Drove through the mountains to McDonald Observatory and plans are to visit tomorrow for the Star Party. Love the cool weather but we’ll need a coat and gloves tomorrow night as the temperatures get into the 20’s at night.
10pm – Stepped out of the RV…pure darkness. Couldn’t even see my feet! Looked up and saw a shooting star! The sky is so full of stars it’s amazing! Reminds me of Garner nights years ago when we camped with the kids when they were little. Tried for 20 minutes to get a shot with the new camera but I’ll freeze before I figure out how it works. Can’t wait until tomorrow night to see the observatory tour and Star Party.
