Few Campers at the Lake

Mother’s old mini van needed to be taken for a ride after sitting in the garage for almost three weeks.  I was a little hesitant to take it to the lake but knew the old girl needed to hit highway speeds to help charge up that battery.

It was a little late in the afternoon since I was waiting for the heat to go down some, as this vehicle does not have a working A/C.  Went to my favorite campground Governors Landing and was sadden to see that only three campsites were occupied.

I guess it is because school has already started and parents must have spent a bundle on clothing and supplies?  The news says that gasoline prices have gone up since hurricane Isaac but in my experience at least they have held steady from Houston to Del Rio around the $3.59 mark.  On this particular day Wal-Mart had the lowest price $3.57.

Only people enjoying the lake were locals in the public area

This morning I decided to tackle the mesquite pods that had fallen during my absence.  To give me energy I treated myself to some menudo and found it has gone up to $5.41 at the local eating establishment…if prices keep going up guess one of these days I will have to learn to cook it myself!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
