Before breakfast this morning, I took a nice refreshing plunge into the Gulf of Mexico. A bit salty. Then I loaded up my gear and headed north, taking my time and even stopping for a nap on a picnic table in Agua Dulce. Tonight my apartment is set up next to Choke Canyon Reservoir in Choke Canyon State Park west of Three Rivers, TX. The reservoir is an ornithologists heaven and it seemed like every bird was greeting me as I pulled into the park just before dusk. But now that the sun is down, it is just me, the crickets and the owls beneath the stars.
