What a great time once again at Palmetto!
On Thursday we began the TOWN invasion at the park with Marilyn, Gloria, Flo, Jacque, Eola, Susan, SandyO, Beverly, June and myself. Friday brought LindaKW, Carol, JudyS, Carrie and guest Aaron , Sara and guest, and Janet to the camping loop with JackieD and SandyB at the cabin across the river. The weather was absolutely beautiful for trail hiking and birding Friday so that’s just what we did. Spring is in evidence already in that beautiful park! There was also the annual lockup at the Gonzales Historic Jail followed by DQ. Sadness stepped in though when we learned that DJ, one of our favorite camping pups, had passed. We will miss having him near!
Saturday morning started off a lot cooler, but that didn’t stop SandyB’s enthusiasm as she led five TOWNies on a bicycle tour of the pump jacks , Zedler Mill and some of her family memories in Luling. Other members shopped and met us for a yummy hot dog lunch.
Saturday evening was our chicken enchiladas Dutch oven dinner. A huge thanks to everyone for all the food contributions and help with cooking and cleanup. Once again master chef Susan did her magic to make the enchiladas taste perfect! Of course…also….a huge thanks to Gloria for keeping the libations flowing!
Three of us spent Sunday evening with one more campfire after a harrowing off road incident. Thanks Sandy O for the rescue!
I hope some of our birders can supplement this report with any special sightings of birds this trip. (Word has it that there are no fish tales to be heard so we don’t need to hear from that group:)
As always, I count my blessings when I’m with this group; you are all such an integral part of my life….so Thanks!
See you outdoors soon! LindaBW
