Last couple of days at the Amistad NRA

I stayed at the Spur 406 Campground the whole time.  If I ever return, I must try for either the first site just before the pay station, or the site I was in which is just before the dirt trail to primitive camping sites.  (Note: apparently the primitive campsites are also fee sites).

Signal was good, though for whatever reason the signal would go away for a few minutes at least once a day.

I rode the 14 miles or so towards the Exxon Gas Station located near the Diablo East NPS Campground.  I got some hamburger buns but the gas pumps were down, technical issues.

I rode slowly back, taking the time to check out the NPS campgrounds and facilities on the southern side of the Amistad Reservoir:

Diablo East Boat Ramp, I saw at least three

Border Patrol boats being put into the water.

Made it back to camp fine, here's a pic of a resident I almost ran into while walking about the campground:

Wednesday, January 24

Last day at the prone-to-being-overcast in January Amistad NRA, Western TX.

The temperature did climb to 63°F, so it was warmish.  However, the clouds overhead pretty much blocked the sun the whole day, I think I felt its warmth and light perhaps for a total of 5 minutes through the afternoon.

The main highlight of the day was when I rode Yagi to the end of Spur 406 for "water crossing" pictures:

I leave tomorrow for Hondo, TX to visit the Machidas at their Escapees Lot.

Tonight's post-sunset light show:

More to follow.
