Next stop

Next stop

Onto the next stop in Cooke County! So I had one more thing to check under the bridge itself. Well, you will have to wait until tomorrow to find out why I was checking. Man Uses Strange Rock as Doorstop For Decades. It Turned Out to Be Worth a Fortune Our Sun Is Spitting Out…

Same path but the reverse

Same path but the reverse

It was hard to turn back, but it was getting late. However, different things are always seen on the same path. Why? Because now you have a new side to view or you were looking left when stuff was on the right side. 🙂 It was much harder to take a movie without Jeanne. However,…

Pipevine!

Pipevine!

The July 16th outing saga continues! As we started to climb in elevation, we happened upon the Woolly Dutchman’s Pipevine (Aristolochia tomentosa)! Of course, the elevation climb is really not that much. But this area did not have standing water as it was on a slight slope above the bottomlands. Keep looking!
