Friday, March 5, Junction to Marathon, TX

This is the Park Headquarters at South Llano River, Junction Texas.  Very nice park with 50 amp electricity and HUGE sites. Only $17.00 a nite.   The campground hosts were born and raised in Isle, MN., so they are very familiar with Lake Mille Lacs and Father Hennepin State Park.  It truly is a very small world out here.  Especially in the South in winter, talking to Snowbirds.

Traveled 261 miles today to Marathon, TX.  Heading to Big Bend National Park on Saturday with our car.
We are staying at Marathon on Friday and Saturday nite.   Notice the Southwest motif.  Very nicely done however it is For Sale.  Almost everything in this town is for sale.  Had dinner out at "The Burro" and got introduced to some of the "artsy" culture in this small town.  Very nice. !!!

I missed a stone step coming out of the restaurant and fell on my left knee and twisted my right ankle - I was so embarassed !
The cactuses were just starting to flower.  They had a central firepit with comfortable furniture and free
firewood and starters for us. Very nice touches !!!
