Good times at the morning coffee gatherings :) An Ukulele lesson after a playing session behind our site. Our event host, Frank, performs recitals of "Cowboy" poetry at our swap meet. His original material is very entertaining. Here are a couple of pictures of Fort Davis from one of our hikes. We left Ft Davis and spent a couple of nights at the home of our new friends, Jim and Terry. Our dear friends Kathy and Chick (cousin to Jim) introduced us and the 6 of us had a wonderful time in Camp wood, Texas. Many deer visit us throughout the day :) Next stop was Rocky Point COE in Somerville, TX for 3 nights. A one night stop at Alexandria RV Park in Alexandria.

After 4 days in Biloxi, MS, we headed to Blue Angel Park on Pensacola Naval Air Station, Florida, for another 4 days. Then we'll have one more stop, somewhere, before we get back to Veston and Gwen's in Pinopolis, SC. We're excited about that. I think Veston saved me a little patch in his field to bush hog...yay!!! At Pensacola Naval Air Station we found this quiet semi-secluded spot and relaxed for a couple of nights before our last leg home. They like disc golf here and have 3 courses around the campground. What is this in the fruit section at Publix? It turns out to be a jackfruit! Jackfruit is a tropical tree fruit grown in Asia, Africa, South America, and Australia. It belongs to the same plant family as figs and mulberries. Individual fruits can weigh 120 pounds...so you don't want to hang around its dropzone!!! Yikes!!! A picture from Wikipedia. A picture of our campsite during a 4 night stay at Hard Ridge Creek COE in Abbeville, Alabama. We then stayed 1 night at a Cracker Barrel in Statesboro, Georgia. And finally we made it back to Gwyn and Veston's home in Pinopolis, SC after over 21,000 miles back and forth across our beautiful country. God blessed us with many new friendships and unforgettable memories this year and we are looking forward to next year's adventures.
We've finally made our move eastward... Being now in Biloxi, MS, we have run into warm and humid weather but are excited to be moving back to where we're from...SC :) I am posting MANY photos from Montana to here, and I hope you enjoy them! Here, in East Glacier, golf was a nice, beautiful, relaxing break from all the recent health distractions. We had a ton of fun and actually came back for more punishment a couple of days later. WE BOTH BROKE 90!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ride along "Million Dollar Highway" had us cross 2x 11000 ft passes and another over 10600 ft. Our truck had no problems except for our tire blowout. The origin of the name Million Dollar Highway is disputed. There are several legends, though, including that it cost a million dollars a mile to build in the 1920s, and that its fill dirt contains a million dollars in gold ore. Many old, abandoned mines dotted the mountainside along the highway. We had to stop for a while at the first pass while a crew replaced phone lines. They had to tie their parts and equipment to lines in order to pull them up the mountain slope and secure everything. Many pieces still fell across the road and could have hit passing vehicles if the road was not blocked while they were working. As we waited it began to sleet and snow. Luckily it didn't amount to much! The weather followed us to our Santa Rosa SP campsite in New Mexico. We were spared any violent weather and treated to a beautiful sunset :)
