Deer Everywhere

Waco, Texas

Weather: low 48 degrees, high 67 degrees, cloudy, breezy

Carolyn opened the door early this morning to see what the weather looked like. Suddenly, she closed the door, and said there was herd of deer outside the RV. Sure enough, there were about 15 deer lying in the grass about 20 feet away. They stayed there for the next half hour or so, when they started drifting to the woods. Later on, I saw about 25 more deer while taking my walk. This place is full of deer, and it's probably because there's no hunting allowed in the park.

After breakfast, we took a ride over to the Lake Whitney area to find the COE park where we plan to stay for a few days while seeing our doctor. By the time the trip was over, we had made a big circle around the lake and back to the RV. Most importantly, we found the COE park we want to stay in, and it is located on the Brazos river before the river flows into Lake Whitney. The name of the park is Kimball Bend, and it has about 40 sites. Part of the old Chisholm Trail passed through the park, so there should be some history to look into.

By the time we finished our trip to the lake and back, both of us were ready for some rest. In my case, I was ready for some meditation. Not sleep, just relaxation and emptying the mind. In the middle of the afternoon, I watched the Florida Gators defeat the Florida State Seminoles in college football. It was Florida's 22nd win in a row, and Tim Tebow's last game in the Swamp. Next up for Florida is the SEC championship game in Atlanta against the University of Alabama. It should be a great college football game between two very good teams. I guess you know who I'll be rooting for.

We'll be leaving this campground near Waco tomorrow afternoon and moving over to the campground we found today neat Meridian.

More later, be safe.
