Leaving Big Bend NP we saw clouds flowing down off the mountains. We had a feeling this was the extreme cold front coming we had heard about in the park. Some of the campers in Rio Grande Village were staying there instead of going on to Chisos Basin (highest camp in the park) because they were afraid they would get snowed in at the higher elevation.
Suck it up Gator Fans, we stayed at Seminole State Historical Park last night. It was dark, windy, and pouring rain and the park had paved spaces and electric hookups. We picked a spot close to the showers (ahhh...hot water). Upon arising the next morning we decided that might not have been the smartest action since it turned out we were on the highest spot in the park and we had some pretty terrifying lighting storms during the night. It got down to 34 degrees. We actually heard what we thought was hail or sleet several times during the night. This morning EJ got this neat picture.
Today we stopped in Del Rio for about an hour to do some internet research at the local McDonalds to determine our route through the rest of Texas. We were going to go to Corpus Christi to look at an RV but they wouldn't answer the phone so we're off for Houston instead to stop at Holiday World and PPL Motorhomes. The search continues.
