1-19-11 Falcon Lake State Park, TX

We left Anglers Den Park and then spent 2 days at Chimney Park RV in Mission TX, right on the Rio Grande River with Mexico in sight just a few 100 yards across the river. The Border Patrol presence in the area was everywhere. Today we arrived at Falcon Lake State Park in Falcon Heights TX. The resevoir was a Mexican-American effort to build a dam and lake for power and irrigation. The lake is huge. The Park is very nice and kinda empty..this is where an American guy got shot while jetskiing with his wife last October..I wonder if that's why...we'll be here for a week. We did some shopping enroute and bought some new loungers and groceries. I even put up the satellite dish as there isn't much on standard VHF except Mexican language programs..the deeper into Texas we go the less English we hear..we even stopped at a store the other day where no one spoke English...makes ya wish for the option "Press 1 for English"  LOL   Local weather is calling for sun and 80's thru Friday so it sounds like we will be comfortable. Hope everyone is safe and warm..Until next post REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY..Heather & Charlie
