2019 Easter Camping along the banks of San Felipe Springs - Part I

I do not know what is wrong with me I keep on waking up early (for me). I am NOT a morning person and today I once again woke up at 6:57 a.m.  Since I could not go back to sleep I got up and fed the cats.  It was nice and cool ( 62 degrees) so decided I would go for a morning drive to the area parks and check on the campers.

Was surprised that there was still a lot of room available.  I suppose today they will start coming in earnest. In years past, I usually come by late Saturday afternoon or at noon Sunday.

People were barely getting up and starting to make breakfast. These pictures were taken at Star Park that faces Highway 90.

My next stop was San Felipe Lions Park.

It is here that I noticed the first RV's.

This year there were a lot more port-o-potties available for the campers.

Since it was still in the high 60's there was no one enjoying the waters of San Felipe Springs who like most springs tend to be on the cold side no matter the season.

This afternoon it reached 88 degrees so I am sure a lot of people cooled off in its spring waters.

This particular campsite had small tents like for children and they seemed to still be asleep.

Headed to the next park down the road from San Felipe Lions Park.  I will post those images tomorrow.

Would have liked to have taken more pictures but people were waking up and I did not want to invade their privacy.

Headed to the new Burger King down the road and enjoyed a quiet breakfast.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

San Felipe Springs

I do not know how so many mosquitoes got in the house. I barely got any sleep swatting them until I finally turned on the ceiling fan in my room.  Found an online homemade solution to spray on myself, but need to go buy the ingredients. Will report back if it works.

Drove mother to our local hospital for her monthly labs. We went at noon to avoid the morning rush but to our surprise it was packed.  It took us over an hour just to get registered.

It got to 96 degrees (35 Celsius) today which for us is mild.  Since the hospital is close to several area parks decided to drive by. City workers were busy mowing and weed eating for the upcoming 4th of July festivities.

There were more people than the pictures show, mostly families swimming and having a picnic.

This is known as San Felipe Springs and it is where we get our local water supply.  As we were headed to another park we saw this beautiful lush pink crape myrtle and I just had to photograph it.

My neighbor in Houston said my own crepe myrtle was doing nicely...hope I can finally go home and see it for myself.

This park used to be known as State Park as it faces Highway 90 but now I think it is known as Star Park but don't quote me on it.

This is the calm before the storm as I am sure it will be packed on Friday.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
