TX to AZ...

We made it to Chick and Kathy's on 9 Jan and have been feverishly preparing for our departure tomorrow morning (13 Jan, which happens to be Bessie's 4th anniversary :)).  Time flies when you're having fun.

We had a bit of a problem negotiating the water dispensing station and, while Kathy warned me about taking pictures, I was busted again!

This was the river that flooded last year and took the lives of so many young.  The community is still trying to recover from the devastation.  You can see the height that the river reached  by the red flowers and the flag high up on the tree.

We stayed at this campground a few months earlier.  The flood waters surrounded the area of the row of trailers you see here.  This picture was taken 6 months after the flood and the area between the river and trailers was covered with vegetation and trees.

It was cold the day we visited here and Wendy is caught enjoying a little cup of hot chocolate :)
