Well, even in downtown Richmond wildlife can be found!Over the past 13 years we have marveled over the Eagles that are on the James River. Last summer Dominion Power had a helicopter, dropping workers onto the power tower and they installed the brass (I think brass) spikes to keep the birds off the towers! Well, Dominion is not as smart as the Eagles; they still land in the middle! 🤣Moving/Sale update:Packing has started and the condo looks like a war zone! Movers come on the 3rd!

The area kept our interest for many hours! https://youtu.be/rTCBm8w7FuA

After 3 days on the road we finally arrived at Big Bend. The final 30 miles were very hairy, no map showed us that there was an 18% grade on the route from Presidio to Lajitas! The Tundra got us up the grade with the Airstream but it is nothing we would want to do again! We stayed in Terlingua in the heart of the desert at Road Runner Travelers, a new RV campground. Our first full day we drove the Maverick Road, a dirt road that took us to Santa Elena Canyon that had a hike up…
