So much has happened. I won't start at the "beginning" as that would be too much. I'll start at the right now.
Earl and I are on the road, experiencing the great "what's out there". The first stop on our voyage.... Big Bend National Park! We have been here since October 30, and are committed to stay until the end of January. We have taken on the role of "VIP", aka Volunteers In Parks, at the Persimmon Gap visitors center. Talk about remote! We are almost 100 miles from the nearest grocery store! Needless to say, we have to plan ahead, something we are not always known to do all that well. Here in the next few days we will travel to Stillwell to do laundry (luckily that's only about 6 miles from here, at a campground). While we're there we will pick up some of "Nan's Burritos", handmade burritos made by Nan herself. Tasty! It's a nice place to loiter for awhile as they have free internet on the front porch of the "Stillwell Store". Don't go looking for bread and eggs though. That's gonna require a trip to Alpine, or Marathon at the least.
Well, it's the end of the day. A busy day in the visitor center. We had 125 visitors today, the 3rd highest number since we started manning the visitor center on November 1st.
