Busy Weekend

I spotted this fox the other day in a field across the road from the camp.

Mom has been feeding her herd of deer.

 

This week has been a busy one for Camp Tonkawa.  A camping club arrived early in the week with about 8 or 10 rvs.  It was interesting to visit with a few of them, they were all from the same town here in Texas.  They would get together in the evenings for pot luck dinners.  On Thursday, a group of mule teams started arriving.  They had about 10 campsites also.  They did trail rides during the day.  A couple of them were even from Iowa.  They invited us up to the shelter house Friday night for some country music.  They were practicing that night for a benefit concert on Saturday night.  Most of the camping club left on Friday, but some stayed until today.  This is a picture of the band playing Friday night.

On saturday, we drove over to Grapeland, TX.  Bill Amundson caught a ride up from where he is living now down here and we met him over there at a bluegrass music event at a campground called Salmon Lake.  We had lunch in town with him and the friends that he rode with and then went out to the campground and listened to 5 different bands play in a competition.

After the compitition, Bill's friends and some others sat down in one of the old buildings there and had a jam session.  Lots of good music!

 

 It was quite an interesting campground with a lot of old buildings.  Some were even rented as cabins.

We really enjoyed the day, it was a beautiful drive over and back and we had a good visit with an old friend.

Today, the church that we go to here was having a multicultural festival, so we had lunch there after Mass.  Now we are back home and the campground is almost empty again and we are enjoying the quiet.
