When we left Big Bend we headed north to Fort Davis, Texas. This fort dates to the days of the Apache wars in the 1860s - 1890s.

The county is named after the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. Of course, they shortened it a bit and just called it Jeff Davis County.

In town, we came across Buzz and his rattlesnake pit - he's got more types of rattlesnakes in one place than we've seen before (thank god!).

Really enjoyed our visit to McDonald observatory. Here Joanie stands next to an modern version of the ancient sun dial.

Javelina moved through our camp after dark. Supposedly they're not closely related to pigs, but you couldn't tell that by just looking at them.

We've decided to downsize again. First we sold the house and bought the 5th wheel. Now we're gonna trade the 5th wheel out and get this little gem of a rolling bedroom. Well, maybe not!
