This breakfast waffle at the Microtel Inn wasn’t the usual round shape…
After eating we spent the rest of the morning over at San Angelo State park doing some geocaching. There were a total of 56 caches in the park, but there was no way we would try and get nearly that many. Ended up grabbing 8 and DNFing one. The park was touted as having a large lake, but because of the lack of rain in these parts it is bone dry. Maybe someone should tell the state of Texas to amend their description of the park. Also the geocache’s descriptions could be made more truthful. It was still worth the 4 bucks a head to get in as we got to see some prairie dogs (got a photo) and bison (no photo) to go with a couple small hikes in some very different terrain than we can see in SC.
The afternoon was spent driving to Fort Stockton where we are spending the night. Along the way we stopped and briefly visited the Santa Rita #1 which turned the University of Texas into a very rich school when it became the first major discovery of oil in West Texas. A couple things we found out today, Texas isn’t big on postcards, can’t seem to find them anywhere and you can legally go 75 MPH on some of the 2 lane roads here.
You’re definitely not a waffle connoisseur. You’re eating that waffle bottom up. The Texas panhandle goes to the west.
I’m not real good with state outlines…the first year we lived in South Carolina my mom sent me a wooden clock for Christmas. It was sort of triangle shaped with kind of flat on the top, the right edge was all jagged and the hypotenuse was on the lower left and slightly wavy. Took several hours before it dawned on me that it was the shape of my new home state.
