The low Sunday night was 14, Monday had a high of 24c with a
slight chance of drizzle.
We decided to take a run over to Ford in Borne which was about
an hour’s drive to the east to see if they could look at the coach. As it turns
out they are not really equipped to look at it as they only have one hoist and
there is a wait list to use it. They
recommended a new facility North/East of San Antonio so we called them and
they can accommodate us. We will probably take it in at the end of our stay
in about 2 weeks. It will mean we will have to drive about 2 hours the wrong
direction then come back to continue our journey west. This is becoming a real
pain and time consuming. We would much rather be doing and thinking about other
things.
The ride gave us a chance to explore other roads and areas. We
did hit 2 little patches of drizzle which maybe only lasted about 1 minute each
(no problem).
We stopped in a small town called Bandera known as the Cowboy Capitol and checked out
the stores. They are getting ready for a Cowboy Mardi Gras.

On the way home we
saw out first Texas Long Horn. It was across the field and just received some
hay from the owner, we stopped and watched it for awhile. It used one of its
horns to toss the hay up like he was tossing a salad then carry on eating. He
started off eating with his back to us but then started turning around and then
noticed us and put his head up for his picture.

Further down the road there was a dead deer and it had a
small flock of Black Vultures relaxing near it after having a meal.
Then, just down the road from that a Road Runner crossed in
front of us. It was too fast for Cathy to get a picture. They are not really
that big. The cartoon makes them bigger I suppose for a reason. Cathy googled
them and copied this picture. Apparently they will eat small rattlesnakes.
All for now...
