New RVers have a lot to think about and it can lead to anxiety. What's the best piece of advice you learned to help you relax? Mine was to stop stressing about gas stations when towing a trailer because you can always disconnect it!

When the lightning crashes and the thunder rolls in Texas, you can hunker down, or follow us outside for a helluva view! β‘π€ π

We finally got around to adding a grille guard to our van. We had one on our previous van and really liked having it.
With all the travel we do, especially in rural areas of the country, we feel like we have been pressing our luck by not having some protection up front.
We climbed Turkey Peak at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area for a whole new perspective on the rock and surrounding area. And we just kept hiking after we came down! We ended with about 6.5 miles, after checking out quartz deposits, lots of flowers, and a little trail friend.
Wasps! 'Tis the season in RV life: make sure you're checking water heater cabinets and everywhere else around your rig that paper wasps might be building a nest.

When out for an early evening hike at Enchanted Rock, you might hear the yips and howls of the resident coyote population. Very cool to hear them.

Finally, a clear, dark, star-filled, small-moon night over Enchanted Rock. This is one reason we park host! Sometimes, you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

Brand new baby birds! The swallows that built a nest in the corner of one of the state park bathroom buildings had their eggs hatch very recently. I'm not sure exactly when, but I'm estimating the babies are just days old. They still have their eyes closed!

Perspective is important! The first picture looks a bit like a forest growing in a mountain range somewhere.
But zooming in, you realize it's small plants growing out of a large granite rock.
So, remember, it's not just what you see, but what you think you see that matters.
We saved a baby this weekend while hiking! OK, it was just a baby doll, but anyone who has watched Toy Story knows this doll needed to be rescued from being a lost toy! π±π₯Ίπ
