Enjoyed Cowboy Cookout Breakfast on Friday morning.

Attended the Cowboy Poetry Symposium and Singing Friday afternoon
These cowboys/cowgirls are amazing. They are real cowboys/girls, roping, riding herds, managing huge 30K acre ranches, etc. And so many of them play guitar, write poetry and write books. They are some of the most sensitively atuned people I have ever met, putting in song or in poetry the life and experiences of real cowboys. The Alpine Symposium is one of the largest of many held out west.
We had such a great time with Donna and Manning in their awesome ranch home overlooking a breathtaking valley. We left Alpine this morning for San Antonio, spending tonight in Junction, TX before arrving in SA tomorrow about noon. Our dear friends there whom we met in North Fork, Idaho, are waiting for us in Spring Brank RV Resort outside San Antonio. We'll stay there a week, and our neice Carolyne Wood will join us mid-week for the weekend. She works for the PGA, so I just know she is bringing me some new golf clubs! Okay, C, just kidding.
This RV park (sic) is not the jewel of parks. Normally we pay about $20-25 a night, when not paying by the week or month which lowers to cost considerably. Tonight it's a dump, but cheap (!) @ $10. I'm glad three other rigs have pulled in...making it a bit safer to stay here!
BTW, did you see who is # 1 in the NASCAR STANDINGS? 24!
Blessings to all. Larry (and Helen)
