After my encounter with the drug runner in at the state park exit, I thought that was our excitement for the rest of our stay here. Wrong again. The other night there were 20 illegal aliens in our park [13 in this park and 7 in the same-owner park next door] and the Border Patrol were everywhere. Our front and back gates are locked from 5pm to 8am every night. There is a walk through gate that leads to the state park that has a lock but it is not double checked each night. That is where the illegals entered after swimming the river and coming through the state park. They were heading north and some had gotten into Retama next door, when someone noticed the activity and called the Border Patrol who were all over the area, eventually catching everyone. This happened at the north end of our park and we are in the middle, plus it was the middle of the night, so us ever vigilant people slept through the whole thing!
It is time for us to leave S Texas. When it gets to be hot, humid and the wind blows like hell this place loses its appeal for me. I am still going into the state park every day where there are lots of trees and protection from the wind. I will really miss that as it is so nice to ride my bike through all those areas and see great birds. Our bikes will be in the car until we get home as they are not easy to load and unload but since we have a bike trail at home that is 25 miles long and just a mile from our house, we can look forward to riding on that this summer.
