Pictures Of Chalk Mountain

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 51 degrees, high 67 degrees, mostly clear skies, windy

Even though the low temperature only got down to about 51 degrees, with the wind it felt much cooler. It seems as though the wind blows all the time here. The wind felt cold enough that I turned the collar up on my jacket and wore gloves.

In the morning, we washed two loads of clothes before Carolyn went to El Chico's with her friend Denise for lunch. El Chico's is Carolyn's favorite Mexican restaurant, while I tend to like the local Mexican restaurants more than I do the chain restaurants. I'm glad they were able to get together for lunch before we leave here.

In the afternoon, the RV repairman came back to finish repairing the furnace. The only problem was that the part he ordered was not shipped. Since he knew there was a good possibility that we might be leaving this area tomorrow, he called the technical representative for the furnace manufacturer to see what could be done to get the furnace operating properly. The rep gave the repairman a couple of things to look for, and he found that the on/off switch was actually sticking in the on position. One big problem: the switch is an integral part of the electronic board. That means we need a new board, which had to be ordered. I told the repairman to go ahead and order the part, and it looks like it will be here about noon tomorrow. If it is, replacement only takes about ten minutes. Then, if everything works on the furnace and Carolyn gets a clean bill of health for the medical tests she is having tomorrow, we may leave in the afternoon. Next stops: Waco and Bay City over the next couple of days.

When the repairman left, I went into Glen Rose to return some books to the library. Before coming home, I went back to Chalk Mountain and took some pictures at the picnic area just off US 67, which goes across the mountain. The picnic area is blessed with some of the finest views of the surrounding countryside. Here are a few of the pictures I took.


























More later, be safe.
