We were sitting at the dining table in the RV, at Lake Colorado City State Park, drinking hot chocolate. The day was cold, cloudy and very windy keeping up mostly inside. Kloudy alerted us to the fact that something was in the area. Looking out the window we spotted a covey of Northern Bobwhites.
I scrambled to get my camera to take some photos. These are not the best quality shots, but I enjoyed seeing this group.
This is the closest I have ever been to a covey of Northern Bobwhites and the most I have ever seen at one time.
Northern BobwhiteSite 63, Lake Colorado City State ParkAll alone, but not lonely.
We spent two nights at Lake Colorado City State Park, waiting out the snowy weather in Colorado.
Instead of heading to Amarillo and spending our time in a private RV park, we chose to stay another day in this lovely Texas State Park, observing nature without neighbors.
This was our second visit to Lake Colorado City State Park.
The rains came and haven’t stopped, reminding us once again that this is an El Nino year. What a time to be in Louisiana. What else should we have expected, plus it is Spring.
Yesterday, we were camping in Mandeville, Louisiana at Fairview Riverside State Park. The day we arrived management closed the RV loop closest to the river. We kept watching the water rise in the park and had a feeling we would be asked to evacuate, and that is what happened. We packed up quickly and drove a short distance to Hammond, Louisiana. The rains came again and haven’t stopped – twelve inches so far!
We will stay in Hammond until we feel it is safe to travel; hopefully a window of opportunity will present itself on Saturday so we can head west toward home.
We enjoyed our stay in Florida, even though it was rainy. Since my last post on travel news, we attended HamCation Ham Fest in Orlando, spend time again with friends at Lake Louisa and Rainbow Springs State Parks and then headed west. Our week at my most favorite “resort” was priceless; being with family is always a wonderful treat.
We are hoping our trek home will be dry, enjoyable and uneventful.
While camped at Lake Manatee State Park this Northern Cardinal visited our campsite. He sang his heart out for the longest time. I never did see a female around.
