Today started at 0500…why… I have no clue…got up made some coffee and sat outside…that was a bright idea….41 degrees and I’m watching the sun rise…decided to go to a lookout..not for the sunrise, but for a Mountain Lion…neither one developed…it’s another one of those foggy/smoggy days….came back made some oatmeal….and knock, knock…its Barney…we had a nice chat…he is leaving Friday….still at the dispersed campsite…he is under the same impression as I am…the wind/fog/smog…or what ever… has left a lot to be desired…we said our goodbyes…I went to the store to check on email…decided to see if I could get some morning Mountain shots…while I had cell service I called my GOOD Buddy Rob Rupp…had a nice chat…we’re going to try to get together at Flint Hill's in the Spring …I’m really looking forward to that adventure…Rob Is a REALY NICE person….
Got back early afternoon ..decided to pan fry on trout…called Barney to see if he wanted to partake…somehow had the wrong number…Soooo…pan fried trout, grilled corn on the cob, salad…and an ice cold beer….ok Jerry….beat that…haha.
Had two trout left, decided to run by Barney’s to see if he wanted one…not home….so I came back…working the Genny…will go out to try and get some last minute shots and maybe find a Mountain Lion…
Its now way dark…still no mountain lion…am running the Genny one last time…set the furnace…going to read and go to bed…plan on hitching up by 0700…will decide my destination tomorrow…until then…Happy Trails…Horst

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great meal to me. Wish I was there to enjoy it with you. Hopefully, one day soon. Safe travels on your way home, or wherever:-)
Wishing you guys had been around...oh well another trip in the making....have a Terrific Christmas and healthy and Happy New Year! Horst
DeleteSuch a beautiful photographs collection looking so great images.Thanks a lot for sharing with us. I'll visit your blog again.
ReplyDeleteRon... thanks for the positive comment...I do enjoy photography and combine that with my love for camping and hiking...and you have one "happy peron"...Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leaving a comment...Horst
DeleteHorst, those trout should have attracted that mountain lion. Or at least those coyotes I used to see that passed by the campground on the way to drink in the Rio Grande River each night.
ReplyDeleteGeez, you and Jerry sure eat better than I do.
Looking forward to sharing some Flint Hills scenic spots in the spring.
Safe travels as you head home.
Did not attract any Mountain Lions...though I had Coyotes, Javelins, Road Runners...and numerous other critters at the Camp....don't tell me about your meals...I've seen your elaborate fixins'....pizza, the gourmet style breakfasts, and some things I can't even pronounce..haha...
DeleteI'm really looking forward to the Flint Hills Adventure!!!!
Have a GREAT Christmas.....and may the New Year bring you continued GOOD health and Happiness....Horst
One can spend a life time visiting all there is in Texas...from Mountains, to Canyons, to The Gulf, To desert, the Prairies and Plains..to Cattle Ranches, and everything in between..I may not be a native Texan...but I'm now a "Naturalized Texas Citizen"...heha...One of things I've been thinking about for the coming year is to photograph the small communities of Texas...
ReplyDeleteI will photograph the next panned fried trout ..though it won't be displayed as well as your Plated dishes...I caught my trout at Costco "stream #3 left side....haha...
next Adventure won't be till Spring when Rob Rupp promised to take me his secret places at Flint Hills...
Wishing you Guys a very Merry Christmas, and only the best for the coming year!!! Horst
