More of the same as yesterday. Drove from Marathon to just outside Laredo, TX. Although it did get a little more scenic as we went along. One of the high points of the day was when we saw a couple of Javelinas on the edge of the road near Sanderson. They were quite tame, and there was a wide shoulder on the highway, with little traffic, so we were able to pull over and stop and take a few good photos of them. Then on and on and on. As we went farther to the east and south the trees, if you can call them that, are starting to come out in blossom and leaf. We have never seen that before as we were always a little earlier than this time I guess. Never stopped much along the way as we have taken all those photos over the last few years when w
e have gone this route. Yesterday the time zone changed to Central Standard Time, and tonight the Daylight Savings Time kicks in, so we have a 2 hour change. I'm sure with the drought that's going on here, that 2 hours more sun per day is certainly going to have a negative effect on the plants and trees here !!!! At about 5:00PM pulled into Baquera RV Park, some 10 miles west of Loredo, We have been here twice before. It is not the best park in the world, but is situated in a convenient spot, and beside, we were tired of driving today. Got set up, and had Chesters Chicken for supper, that we had bought while filling with gas at Eagle Pass. It was good.After cleaning up I wandered around outside and was interested in a pile of firewood piled by a shed. After a while the owners of the park were nearby so I engaged them in some conversation. They were certainly of Mexican decent. We talked about the various kinds of wood in the area, and they said I could take any or as much as I wanted. I ended up taking a piece of Mesquite, one of Ebony, one of Oak, and one of Chinese Umbrella. Not sure what I'll be able to do with them, but will figure that out while relaxing at Corpus Christi. I did call ahead and reserved for one month at a RV Park called The Last Resort at Rockport. This had been recommended by some of John's Blog Friends. It is just new and of course we have never been there, so I hope the advise is good. Rates vary from about $40/night to $350+ power/Month. The months committment seemed to be the best deal, even if we decide to vacate early.

Don't let Caitlin see a picture of one of these cuties, or she'll be sure to ask you to find a stray...
