Day Two: Alligators and drying out

Day two I decided I was pretty achy from the long ride yesterday and I need to dry out a bit so I decided to stay at Brazos Bend.  I spent the day praying and relaxing.  Breakfast was an apple and Nature Valley pecan bar.  It was delicious.  After a long morning I had to ride down to the park headquarters in order to renew my campsite by 2:00pm.  I ate lunch.  Pre-packaged Bumble Bee Tuna and Crackers was either really delicious or I was really hungry.  I ate two of them.

After lunch I hightailed it to park HQ.  The ride was easy without the trailer behind me.  I spotted about 50 keys on the side of the rode, but had no way of carrying them on the ride.  When I got to the HQ everything went smoothly a renewed for another night.  I reported the keys and they sent someone to go check it out.  I ran into him on the road on the way back.  It was likely that contractors doing construction work on the cabins had dropped them off the truck.

I took the scenic road back with time for a peaceful rest on a bench listening to the alligators click and moan.  I got back to camp in plenty of time to “cook” some soup (chicken broth and noodle) mostly salt with no meat.  That’s probably not the best for replenishing nutrients.  Shower, writing, Evening Prayer, and bed down early before the mosquitos come.  Long ride tomorrow.
