garner state park, shine on you crazy airstream
I put in some airstream shine and polish hours. it's about 75% polished. we took it out for some fall weather camping, garner state park.
it's a beautiful drive (just over 3 hours) down to uvalde county texas.
tradition dictates we use a beer to check trailer level. gotta do what we gotta do.
we had a beautiful view from our very large camp site.
kids had fun with glow sticks
we enjoyed a nice camp fire, no burn ban this year!
and a beautiful sunrise for breakfast.... it doesn't get any better than this!
old baldy (left) catching the sunrise.
and this was the year, #2 son climbed up the mountain on his own. it took extra time, but we did not carry him this year.
he did NOT want to go in that cave.
my mom walked him back down, we took off over the top of the mountain.
that is a decent elevation gain. we started down by the river.
makes me nervous... back away from the edge please.
then we went down to the river.
there had been some grumbling and I heard a few people claim they had no intentions of getting into the river this year.
but attitudes soon changed when we saw the river is back this year. plenty of crystal clear water.
board games for the camp site.
happy hour!
we wore our jump suits, went to the saturday evening dance at the pavillion.
then we had a roaring camp fire as the temps dropped quickly. we woke up to find winter had arrived in texas (46 degrees)
we found burning marshmallows in the fire was more fun that roasting them.
chili con carne cooked over a real fire.
he loves that root beer.
we stopped for german food in fredericksburg on the way home. it's october so... we did enjoy a spaten oktoberfest at der lindenbaum.
bratwurst, schnitzel and goulash were all really good. I wish they had spaetzle or dumplings with the goulash. we really enjoyed the warmed red cabbage kraut.
