Even though it says “Traveling” with Rich and Julie, we haven’t been doing any traveling lately. We took our first work camp job and are in the process of spending 8 months helping fix up an old campground in South Texas. I honestly am kind of enjoying staying put, and Rich stays busy doing odd jobs around the park, but I still want to get out and do some sightseeing sometimes. Yesterday, New Year’s Eve 2024, was one of those days. It’s a new year and that makes it a good time to commit to sharing more of our adventures again.

We both enjoy driving around the backroads looking for wildlife. Today I found a back road and we drove it until it dead-ended at a large private ranch. We saw some animals down a driveway that said, “No Trespassing” so I couldn’t get Rich to pull any closer.

I zoomed in and can’t really tell. It looked like a group of javelina pigs, but then it kind of looked like a bunch of wild turkeys too. We think it was javelinas by the way they were moving.
