You can click on the pictures to blown them up, especially if you want to read the sign about the King Ranch.When we got up this morning the park had no power. The RV was nice as the fridge, water heater, and furnace were all working on gas and battery power. A/C did come back on about 10am. We drove to Kingsville but the Texas A&M campus museum was closed for the MLK holiday weekend. We went to the King Ranch, 825,000 acres and larger than Rhode Island. They farm grain, cotton, sorghum; have 25,000 to 38,000 cattle; 300 horses; sell hunting parties access to some land; have their own dedicated John Deere dealership; and a school and church for ranch hands in their own community. We saw an armadillo crossing the road, a calf that was born in the past hour by the fence line plus deer and turkeys (no different than Michigan) while on a ranch bus tour. Not bad considering Captain King (boat captain) had only 8 month of schooling.
We walked around the park and then went to supper with Tom & Ann at a nice local joint that had good food. We knew it was Saturday night as the cowboys came into the restaurant carrying their own beers. No rain today, 50s, all blue sky and sunshine.
