We have now been in Mission, Texas for one week and the weather has been hot each day and cool at night. We have seen temps in the 80's every afternoon and few clouds in the blue sky. We heard from his widow, Nola, today that our old neighbor, Vivan Smith, or Smitty, died last Tuesday January 3 at the age of 94.
Back here in Texas.....
Just down the road the National Butterfly Center has reopened for visitors each day. It closed last year during a fight about the border wall being built across their property. Apparently, the issue has been resolved.
Just across the road from our RV park this helicopter was flying yesterday to herd some immigrants toward the State Park where the Border Patrol was waiting to capture them. We saw the same activity many times last year.
This bus is then brought in to transport the foreign people to a processing center in McAllen. The bus goes by our campsite about every other day to wait across from the Park, so apparently business is busy.
On a bike ride this week Bill not only saw three Roadrunners like this fellow above, but also a tiny snake in the bike trail. We are hearing loud coyotes each night as well as a Great Horned Owl. The temps get so low at night here in this desert region that we have to close our windows in the travel trailer, and run a small heater in the morning.
Everyone knows that Texas is known for its BBQ cooking but this small portable cooker is taking it to the next level. The pickup owner is ready to cook wherever he goes.
