Were back in Texas

We left Michigan Oct 19th, headed first for the Texas Hill Country then on to Bentsen Palm Village Resort for the winter.

Arrived at the Big Chief Resort on Buchanan Dam in the rain. We were lucky the rain let up a little so we could get set up but I was still plenty wet. Some of the locals said it rained 9 inches that night so we saw a different Hill Country than what we are used to. All the creeks were now rivers and the rivers tended to be torrents. I was kind of cool to ford the rivers in the Jeep.

Enchanted Rock was a whole new experience with parts of the trails under water and the Sandy Creek flowing over the walkway. I didn’t take the entire Loop Trail, since I know it crossed the creek just before the end. I crossed back on the Echo Canyon Trial and encountered a number of pools on the trail and lots of tiny trickles as I make my way back to the parking area. You might think I would have some really unusual pictures, but since I have been here so many times I didn’t take the camera and have been kicking myself since.

We stayed at Buchanan Lake for 9 days before heading to Mission and BPVR. As we were turning onto Old Military Road Linda and I look at each other and said “Were Home”.
