Why Are You Still Reading My Blog?
The only reason I ask is because I won’t be here for a week. I’m headed down to south Texas and the central Texas coast for a whole lotta birding on spring break. My wife’s never been to these places before, and I’m trying ever so subtly (or maybe not so subtly) to ease her into the greatest hobby on earth.
So far, the trip has gotten off to a rotten start. After arriving at my inlaws, we realized we’d left our tent and sinfully plush thermarests back home. Our inlaws happily loaned us their tent and less sinfully plush thermarests. With inch and a half air mattresses beneath us, rather than our accustomed two and a half inches, we’re actually going to be roughing it.
For those that know much about south Texas, we’ll be hitting up the following areas. Chapeño, Salineño, San Ygnacio, Bentsen Rio-Grande State Park, Santa Anna National Wildlife Refuge, Laguna Atascosa, Sabal Palm, Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, and areas around Port Aransas.
It should be great fun, and I’m going to snap plenty of pictures and put them up when I get back.
See you in a week.
That’s almost enough to conjure up visions of Hell on Wheels.
You’ll be shocked to know that Nathan and I are not spending our spring break doing anything that resembles camping. We just got back from a short visit to Abilene, which was wonderful. We missed seeing you there. Hope you enjoy your vacation, and I can’t wait to see the pictures.
