West Texas

"Hello Mr. Davey, ya'll enjoin' your stay in West Texas?"  This is the greeting Mr. Davey gets each time he drives through the State Park check point.  There are three campgrounds in this park situated on a lake, and she recognizes him each time.  How can that be?  It's Spring Break in these parts and of all the people, she remembers his name.  Hmmmm, could it be that at most, there are only 10 other sites occupied by campers?  Yep!  The TX drought has taken its toll in the area and what was once a very cool lake is now so low boats can not even launch.  Wow, didn't mean to be such a downer.

We did indeed travel to the 55th Annual Rattle Snake Roundup; been there, got the shirt, done that.  This is how we know we are in TX (pic taken whilst entering the roundup).  I know, it's not a great picture but we saw several guys carrying high powered rifles.

 

 

Philoberto (wearing his Sweetwater Rattle Snake T-shirt) made us some jalapenos, stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon thingy's ... they were delicious!  We happened to have all the ingredients so it was a fantastic snack.

Yesterday we popped into a Mexican restaurant for our obligatory Friday fast knowing that cheese enchiladas were their specialty.  Philoberto ordered local cerveza and I was compelled to order a margarita.  What I received was a Wineareta because the restaurant doesn't have a liquor license.  It was good; too salty, but good.

Adjuster Dog isn't terribly fond of this campground ... she can't go three feet without getting a few stickers in her adjuster paws.  With that said, we think we'll pack up and continue to head North tomorrow. 

We're watching storms in OK & Northern TX develop right now ... maybe we'll get "the" call?

Peace & Love & pray for storms!
