I had every intention of testing out my car on Wednesday but we had very strong winds that at times reached 40 mph so I postponed my trip to town to Thursday afternoon. I held my breath as I turned on the car and lucky for me everything was normal.
I had to run some errands in the north part of town when I got a wild hair and decided to drive to Lake Amistad so I could drive the car on the highway since that seems to fix it temporarily. The speed limit is 70 mph but for some short intervals found myself doing 80 mph.
It has been a very long time since I came out this way. There are a lot of new businesses and buildings. I will have to read my own blog to determine when was the last time I was here. For example, I had no idea what this building was. Upon further research, I learned that it is the new headquarters for the Amistad National Park Service and that it used to be the old Amistad Power Sports building near Blackbrush.
I of course had to head out to my favorite campground at the Amistad National Recreation Area...Governors Landing. The first thing that caught my eye was that the overnight camping fee had gone up to $10 from the previous $8.00.
It quickly became apparent the reason for the increase. They have made upgrades to their camping sites by expanding them and adding a tent camping area to each.
Thankfully the strong winds that were prevalent on Wednesday were no longer a problem Thursday.
I was too tired to make a blog post last night so I am making an early (versus midnight) post this afternoon.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
