Our Return to the South

Dec 6th - Brother Larry , down from Edmonton, for a brief visit, took us to the Calgary airport on his way home, where we caught an Air Canada plane from Calgary to Houston, a 4 hour flight.

The Canyon Dam and Canyon Village - At this point we are immediately above Loren and Thersa's acreage where we have ELTORO stored
  Denices Cousin's son Loren picked us up there and took us home to ELTORO at his acreage near New Braunfels. We spent the next day getting ready for our trip back to Mission, TX, where we plan on staying for the next 3 months. Early, well early for us at about 9:00AM we were on the road south after saying our good- byes to the GREAT Partridge Family.

  The trip down took 6 hours and was uneventful although a little windy when we got close to McAllen Texas, but nothing like what we experienced while in High River over the last couple of weeks. Arrived back in Chimney RV Resort at  3:00PM, and completed the inital set up in site #72 on the Rio Grande.

Only completed the necessary stuff as tomorrow is another day! On the 9th, we really got involved with a longer term set up. Chairs, tables, carpet, Bar-B-Que, etc, etc. Still more on the 10th with bird feeders, outside lights, solar lights, and some other smaller details. Then , of course we did some reading and computing!
