Last Fishing Day







One of our last days fishing I caught a beautiful crappie. He was almost 2 pounds. We ate him but unfortunately the meat was mushy. Another couple had caught some the day before and ate them and said the meat was also mushy. It was so disappointing after catching a fish we love to eat.
I had to take pictures of the goats grazing along the water. They come in so many different colors down here. The brown ones look like deer because the deer are about as small as goats. It's been hot down here - in the 80's to almost 90 everyday so the turtles have been enjoying sunning themselves.
We will definitely miss the wonderful warmth here although soon enough it will be in the 90's and 100's and thats too hot even for us. So starting next Sunday or Monday depending on weather we will start heading north. We are going up to Amarillo and then across Oklahoma and Arkansas. We want to check out Arkansas, the natural state, and see whats all there. It will depend on the weather though since it is tornado alley and it is April. Many of the campgrounds along the way advertise storm shelters. We plan to dodge the storms but its nice to know we have safe places to go if one catches us.
