Spent the day tending the horses, watching TV, hooking up the horse trailer, getting caught up the blog and generally relaxing for the bulk of the day in preparation for a very early start tomorrow morning. We took a short drive down to the shores of the Rio Grande, just to say we saw it. (That's the pic, Hubby with the Rio Grande behind him.) It was rather disappointing, much smaller than we figured it would be, apparently Mexico has been draining a lot of it for agriculture (though I suspect there are just as many Americans upstream doing the same thing...) We've decided our next stop will be San Angelo State Park, which will be close to a six hour drive, and we've arranged to stop to pick up a few bales of hay from Terry, the owner of the RV park who also happens to grow hay, mostly alfalfa, but some mixed, which is what we want anyway. That should hold us over until we get to the Hill Country area, where I expect hay will be more readily available.
