Yesterday we lounged about for quite a while before heading onto Main Street. It was mobbed, but we managed to find our way to Ramblin' Robs to sample a few things. Around 1:00pm John and Pat, friends from Victoria, showed up for a couple of hours. It was great seeing them as they left Victoria several weeks before us, and are now staying about 25 miles away.
We then spent the rest of the day, like the rest of the park, watching the Masters.
Today it was cool, dreary, and finally misty, especially when I was trying to grill dinner. We headed to the Willow City Loop which showcases all the wonderful wildflowers. Since the road goes through numerous ranches on private property, signs are posted everywhere to keep on the road, no trespassing, "we don't call 911, we just shoot you", everyone stops to take pictures. Pictures just don't do it justice.
The blue ones are bluebonnets, the white ones are white prickly poppies, and the yellow ones are groundsel.
There are acres and acres of these flowers.
Hill Country at its finest. You can't tell from this picture, but these bluebonnets are everywhere on all of these hills. No wonder people come from all over the country to see.
Since we've been driving around this city, we come across cattle gates in the middle of the roads with signs, "caution - roaming cattle". Today for the first time, we finally came across some of these cattle, right next to the road. The ranch roads are just that - public roads going through private ranches that don't want to put up fences.
Again, like everyone else in the park, we watched the Masters this afternoon, finally leaving the trailer at 6pm to walk around the park.
