Sept 18, 2009

Nothing much new to report. It's been a fairly nice day today, weatherwise, with 6 or 7 campers coming in. We were asked by the head ranger to put the sprinkler out at site 20 for a while, and when I went to turn it off, scared up a large covey of quail. I think they were enjoying the water. We have to keep the water running through the lines because they put the proper amount of bleach in the water tank up by the wellhead, which is about a mile away from the campground, so we have to run it through the lines. We have a good well but it is hard water.

We noticed several wide and deep holes dug in the campground today. I tried to cover them. I don't think it's armadillos but probably either a skunk or a badger digging them. One particularly deep hole went under the concrete frame around a hose bib, so I really tried to cover that one up. Sure wish we could see the animal that's digging such a hole.

Today is Gary's birthday. Wow, he's the best-looking 63 year old man I have ever seen! He received many greetings on facebook and on the internet. The good folks down at the HQ building brought him a cake and some breakfast tacos this morning...we'd already had breakfast and were stuffed by the time we left there! They also sang Happy Birthday, or Feliz Compleanos. What a nice group of people to work with. We really enjoy them all.

We got some good news from DelTex RV in Del Rio today. They'd been in contact with Norcold yesterday (after being put on hold for hours), and Norcold has agreed to send us a replacement icemaker. I'm SO looking forward to that. I don't think I've ever put ice trays into the freezer w/o spilling. The replacement is supposed to be here Tuesday or Wednesday.

We're so thankful for all our blessings and for being here in this beautiful place. Hopefully we will have more pictures soon.
