First, a quick apology to Texas. Even though I still think many of their on/off ramps are antiquated, and in some cases, downright hazardous, Texas has made a lot of improvements to I10. After posting the blog yesterday morning, I checked weather conditions in the Corpus Christi area, and discovered that we would be facing 90 degree weather, with the same or higher humidity. Have I mentioned that I don't like hot & humid weather? So, we changed plans, which we often do on the spur of the moment, and decided to head for the Medina Lake Thousand Trails, just west of San Antonio. The weather in this area is supposed to cool down in the next few days, so we'll be parked here until the 10th. An unexpected surprise was the presence of lots of deer in this park. Just before sunset, I snapped a few pictures of Patty feeding the little critters, just outside our motor home. Not sure if these are white tailed deer, but they are very small, and are about the same size as the deer that are indigenous to the Florida Keys. Sami thinks she has died and gone to heaven! Not only are there deer everywhere, but also, lots of squirrels. Lets just say that our potty walks have become something else entirely. Most of Texas has been under severe draught conditions for quite some time. This park is adjacent to Medina Lake, and has its' own boat ramp, but the lake is quite low due to the lack of rain. After driving for a couple of days in the rain, this will be a nice break, before heading west.
