Balmorhea and San Solomon Spring

A few blowout pictures just because...
Hey!  Not bad.  It's only flat on one side....

..this side.
We got it back good enough to travel.

Left too long to themselves and our kids always revert to honking the trucks.
The best honker came from a truck like this one.  It was carrying a nascar from Daytona to Arizona, where the next big race is.  These guys drive 10 months of the year on a circuit to all the races.

Here's another reason God is good.  If I didn't need to change the tire, I wouldn't have noticed that the spare under the trailer was only being held up by three screws instead of four, so one of its frame pieces was hanging down a bit.  If that tire broke free at 70mph we could have had a lot more damage than we got.  Thanks to some friendly neighbours at this park, it's all fixed now.
This is the same hill from far and then close. 

The channel that runs behind our campsite carries water from this pool at 1 million gallons per hour.
The water is crystal clear and fed by an artesian well.  It's 75 F, which felt a little cool today as it was about 82 here.


A fish pedicure.  That's a catfish in the middle.

  2. Hey folks,

    Looks like your enjoying warmer weather again. This is the first time I checked out the blog, pretty cool. Speaking of cool, it's freezing here!!! It's the 1st of March and we just had 4 inches of fresh powder snow added to the 10 feet we already have. Nasty. This time last year people were starting to mow there lawns. Hopefully it melts by the time you get back =)

    Cheers...the Tulak 8(plus 1 brewing)

  3. Howdy, glad to read that it actually was not too bad. It just encouraged me to check the pressure on all the tires, been travelling on lots of gravel roads lately. I got a stone in the windshield the other day, that's how it goes hours and hours driving all alone, one care crosses you and "Peng". So I am learning how to fix a bulleye now. Resin curing as I typ. Wondering how that will come out.
    Be safe! Ciao, t
