Kinda griped us, but what can you do. Love the Sand Hill Cranes, there's lots of them here too.

Except for holiday weekends we didn't have any trouble getting into the TX state parks while there. We're starting to see the same thing with the cash and credit gas prices, I remember years ago that happening when we lived in NY. Nice photos of the cranes, we're getting a pot roast on to cook all day :)Faye N Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630343244281603759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-5052161043537885702014-02-19T07:08:07.193-05:002014-02-19T07:08:07.193-05:00Glad to hear you got some more time at Oscar Scher...Glad to hear you got some more time at Oscar Scherer. I know how much you love the area.<br /><br />Karen and Stevio posted a great blog about their Olympic Wave heater. They were toasty warm boondocking a few days ago with temps at 16 degrees...and the next night minus 0. It uses very little to no electricity.<br /><br />I don't remember you ever staying at Paynes Prairie SP. It's near Silver River SP. In Jan or Feb they have a massive sandhill migration there. When we were there they estimated 6000-9000 of them all in one place. <br /><br />Also, for your to do list, I'll bet you would love to see the Whooping Crane flyover when they land in St Marks, Florida. Google Operation Migration for more info.<br /><br />You mentioned getting a new camera. Mine is a Canon SX50HS. It has the super duty stalker zoom and is inexpensive. It's small enough to carry hiking or kayaking.<br /><br /><br /><br />Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-44260659926053134672014-02-18T21:04:58.962-05:002014-02-18T21:04:58.962-05:00I've heard of her book also ... interested in ...I've heard of her book also ... interested in your review... she certainly has quite an imagination ...Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-52174499278415039592014-02-18T19:59:26.062-05:002014-02-18T19:59:26.062-05:00I too wish they would come up with some standard w...I too wish they would come up with some standard way to indicate gas pricing when there are two or more prices for the same product. It is annoying to get in there expecting one price (always the lower one) and then finding out that price is only for some other group.

As we both know, life sure can throw curve balls. I'm even aghast that you have to make advance reservations at Brusters to get some JMC ice cream! What is the world coming to? :cO<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your heater set up. A great idea for warmth...and peace and quite. :c)Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-35914642501260138512014-02-18T15:44:01.696-05:002014-02-18T15:44:01.696-05:00We bought a Kozy World 10,000 btu brick heater in ...We bought a Kozy World 10,000 btu brick heater in Quartzsite last month. It works great at warming the rig in the mornings, much better than the Wave 3 we had before.
