Last Week in Texas


There wasn’t a real rush to get on the road because we only had about 100 miles to go to our final stop in Texas: Davis Mountains State Park. We thought we would only get to stay 3 nights but when we checked in there had been a cancellation so we booked a site for the whole week. There is so much to do in this area so we were pleased with our good luck. The high points of our stay here: Attending a “star party “ at McDonald Observatory (we had a clear night and learned so much) Touring Fort Davis and the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center ( both have beautiful hiking trails and amazing desert plants in bloom  not to mention abundant wildlife). At the nature center we saw four Javelina on our hike there. This state park is a CCC Park which we’ve decided are almost always exceptional places to stay.
