Road Trip – Day 14

7 February 2019

It was very windy last night. All. Night. Long.  I got up once to secure a couple of flaps on the tent that were making noise by putting my shoes on them to hold them down.  I reminded myself to check them in the morning before I put them on for critters such as scorpions.  At least, that’s what I was taught in the Boy Scouts if out west.  

I felt sure I was going to get pounded by rain but by the time I got up at 5:30 am it was only sprinkling a few drops.  I did run into heavy rain on the way to my destination tonight and it rained off and on all along the way.  My gps warned me of a flood warning and when I checked the map, it was just north of me. 

It would have been more problematic in the Hill Country with flash floods affecting the low lying crossings in the road.  It was here that I first saw the flood gauges placed in low places to give people how high the water was on the road bed.  

Something waked me at 11:30 pm and at first, I thought it was some animal calling.  Indeed it was.  A guy and a girl was on the children’s swing set laughing and talking.  It was the swinging that had gotten my attention.  Someone else must have heard them because as I got up to pee, someone went over with a light and then it got dead quiet.  They must have taken the hint.

In addition to being one of the reasons cheap cialis soft (and, therefore spam ) is so popular is that it is one of the most successful medicines that actually does what it claims it will do.

Later, as I broke camp, you could hear coyotes howling.  Nothing like that to get you up and going.  

I actually packed up camp in the dark and was on the road by 6:30 am.  It’s around an eight hour drive from Enchanted Rock to the comforts of the Comfort Inn in Scott, Louisiana (just outside of Lafayette.  

As I headed towards Austin, I was amazed at the number of vineyards along the highway.  They all looked new and clean and busy.  There must be at least 50 or more along one stretch of highway.  I would have liked to stop in but I needed to head on down the road.  Besides, they were not open at 8 am.

The drive to Scott was uneventful and with a few exceptions, the limit was 70 mph.  I got to the Comfort Inn at 3 pm on the dot.  I’m now washing clothes, contemplating dinner, and an early night to bed.  My destination tomorrow is Blackwater River State Park in Milton, Florida (panhandle) – about a 6 hour drive.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
