The Travels of the Agnew Family

A number of 5th wheels and motor homes from Quebec have been arriving over the past week. Last night, Ed spoke with one fellow and he said the group was to have their engines running at 7am as that was the time they were leaving for Acapulco. We missed it but our neighbours were up at 6:30am to watch the thirteen units depart. This is the 3rd caravan from Quebec to leave for Mexico from our park in the last month and a half. We were told that the group had hired protection that would be waiting for them when they crossed the border and would accompany them during the three day drive to Acapulco. Given the current violence in Mexico and the number of banditos I don't think I would go even with protection. Hope they all arrived safe and enjoy their winter.

Ed called over to the local state park and found out that the majority of the park had been reopened. As it was a beautiful day, we decided to take Zaph and go for a walk. There didn't appear to be a lot of physical damage from the flooding but the plants were all very green and happy looking.


You can still see the high water mark on the trees. This is a flat area near a resaca (pond). The water in the resaca is a lot higher than usual.


A park ranger told us that a lot of the mammals (javelina, bobcat, etc.) have returned to the park but we didn't see any. We did see some birds.
