Good or bad

Today seems to be a good news bad news sort of day weather wise. The good news is that the temperature is in the high 70's, the bad news is that the cool air is being driven in from the north by 30+ mile per hour winds. The second part of the bad news is the dry conditions in the neighborhood and the construction to the west of us are kicking up large amounts of dust. Not as bad as Lubbock yesterday, but we can still taste the breeze.


Finishing the trip here, after we left Sanderson we headed to Del Rio. Just east of Langtry and the home of Judge Roy Bean, the 'only law west of the Pecos', we crossed the Pecos River. 



 The Pecos has dug a pretty deep ditch at this point.

 Another view from the bridge.

 Looking south, at the end of the canyon wall that is the Rio Grande River and the border with Mexico.

 This is the campground I spent two days in in the town of Del Rio.

 Another view.

 Looking toward the pool.

 Any questions.

The view from the park entrance, looking at lake Amistad.

Looks like today will be spent enjoying the good life with one hand holding onto my hat.

  1. I'd send you the rain I'm having today if I could. Wind is supposed to arrive over night. :)

  3. You would not have believed the haboob (dust storm) we had here in Lubbock yesterday. The day turned to night and the wind was 60 mph.
