Trains and Helicopters
December 9, 2006
We spent the morning thinking about leaving. The sky is still covered with a blanket of clouds, but the sun burning holes and is peeking out from time to time. Outside Hondo, just east of town, we stopped along the railroad tracks waiting for a train with three engines to get going. We saw a red tail hawk and a kestrel and used our computer bird program to identify them. After 15 minutes the train never moved so we did. Going from small road to small road we worked our way north and east. Lots of new development was found. The tall heavy new electric lines are being strung. We watched as a man standing on the helicopter strut attached hooks way up on the top cross bars of the tall heavy poles.
We came into Boerne and found a little park along the river where we made some dinner. Kathy fed the geese and ducks some flax seeds; they didn’t like it so well. During dinner we watched the food channel and it was being taped in Pittsburgh! Carmine, were you watching too? We played some Boggle, did up dishes then headed north on 1376. Lots of big homes have gone into this once open land in the hill country. We found a side road that ended in the Guadeloupe River and parked for the night under the bridge. Movie: Deep Impact.
