Balmorhea State Park

A long travel day turned into a really harrowing experience when we found ourselves in the middle of a severe dust storm. When we arrived at this little state park it seemed like a haven from the worst of the storm. We stayed here last year--it was the first Texas state park we stayed at--so we knew we'd find an easy pull-through site with a covered picnic table. Since it was cold and windy, we didn't spend much time outside, but I looked at the multitude of stars when I took Sweetie for a walk.

We stayed hooked up so we could pull out early in the morning. We called Sandy Riverfront RV Park outside of Portland, OR, where we plan to spend a month mid-May to mid-June. It turns out that if you stay a month at an RV park there, landlord-tenant law comes into play, so we'll both have to have credit and criminal background checks ($30 each).

For supper we had the yellow squash and black bean stew I made last night along with some of Carol's recipe quick brown bread, some salad, and some stovetop candies.
