The drive from Big Bend National Park to Harper, TX was uneventful which really is the way we like it. We arrived at the ranch of John and Jane Canfield in the late afternoon and got our coach set up in the guest spot next to their motorhome.
After setting up we were treated to a tour of the ranch. A small spread by Texas standards, but it contained more wild life than we had seen on the entire trip so far. John and Jane raise antelope and have a pet Axis deer. On top of that there were twin white tail deer fawns hanging around, as well as a large flock of Guinea Fowl. Of course there were dogs and cats, too. Barbara will post photos of the animals on our gallery.
We enjoyed great conversations of boating and RVing at dinner last night and again at breakfast this morning. Following breakfast we were on the road for Dallas. Our thanks to the Canfields for their hospitality.Real nice folks!
It was a long day on the road today. We traveled back roads for the most part, and traversed the Texas Hill Country. It is a beautiful part of the state. Fredericksburg, in particular, looks like a lovely place to return to for a visit at a later date. We stopped at a rest area just south of Ft Worth and changed in to our Florida Tourist outfits as a joke for Chris and Lisa. It was good for a quick laugh when we stepped out of the coach. Chris was taking videos, but I hope he losses the file before anyone sees it. We really looked the part. Perhaps too much so.
We are tucked snuggly into Chris’ backyard to await the arrival of the rest of the grandparents, and the celebration of Jack’s first birthday Saturday.
