Foggy morning and bluebells

This morning, Tuesday March 17, 2009 St. Patrick's Day in Beuscher State Park, TX.  Yesterday I rode both in Austin and then the park here on the hills again.  Changing the way I manage the gears has made the hill climbs easier.  Bluebells were seen from the rode side yesterday and would like to see them a little closer.

Beuscher and Bastrop State Parks are the area of the lost Pines.  The concept is the same as the lost Maples.  That is, the species became separated by the landscape and climate and became rather an island.  These two state parks had a disastrous fire last week so they are ever so pleased to have had the rain.

We are finding that we like to be hooked up to electricity while stopped, it means we can run our tiny electric heater in the mornings and not fear to use the light at night as well as our ever gong electric tea kettle.  We have a tire valve on the trailer which needs to be replaced.

Both David and I feel much better after the massages.
