Might have been Fredricksburg, heavy German ancestry. We drove up from Kerrville and spent a day there. While we were there, a festival was going on complete with biergarten and music !! |

I think the "Hill Country" is the best part of Texas! I forget what town it was that my wife and I went to for some good German food. It was great! We were spending the winter in our motorhome in Castroville at the time.

Yes, ethanol has less energy compared to gas. Since most gas is cut with 10% ethanol now-a-days (it replaced MTBE which is horrible for ground water contamination), its a good argument for going diesel for tow vehicles. Thanks for the info on the helper kit. |

The new tv towed great. It is nice having the extra hp also. We got 11.5 mpg going up, but only averaged 8 mpg coming back. I blame that mostly on the E85 flex fuel we tried out coming back. I did some research and found out that while e85 is cheaper, it gets about 25% less mpg. |

Hodge-Podge, they must be pretty common in the park also. There is a picture of one on the park map they hand out.

I've always loved cardinals. They are the North Carolina state bird and I am from NC originally. They always show up so bright in a photo like yours.

Thanks. There were 2 male cardinals and one female we saw daily, that were attracted to a leaky water hose on another trailer. However, I was surprised by the lack of other birds. |
