Amistad National Recreation Area

We hobble into theWalmart in Del Rio. We park it and Garyuses some windshield repair. We drive over to nearbyAmistad National Recreation AreaWe are trying to find the Dam but the Dam road ends!We turn around but a truck pulling a boat passes us and Gary watches him continue on thru the water, so we turn around and follow.I hope we're high enough!The view is nice!We finally find the Dam.We drive half way across stopping before the Mexican Border.The Eagles at the Border - Amistad means friendship. It was constructed by the US and Mexico in response to frequent droughts and a number of floods, the worst in 1954 killing 300 people in Del RioView of the Rio Grande.Don't look down!View of the Resevoir and recreation area - wish we had a boat!According to Pam - If you stick your head in a Bear's mouth you will be ate!

Walmar has parking spots for RV's only. We were between 2 RV's from Illinois.They came in separately but turns out they are from the same town. The world just keeps getting smaller!

The next morning Gary puts in another can of Dry Gas and we fill up with fresh Gas, and depart with our fingers crossed!

Next Stop Seminole Canyon State Park and the Pictographs

Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n

More Later,

Melissa and Gary
