Spring Frio Pilgrimage

At the end of the Schulze reunion, Kate, Mercedes and Evangeline joined us as we headed for Camp Live Oak just north of Leakey where the East Frio meets the West Frio. Kate's husband Ryan is back in West Virginia taking care of business, and will be joining his girls soon. We love the Frio, and know that in the Spring, the returning birds also love the Frio. And Papa Wes, loves the returning birds!

 Here's a couple of birdies Papa Wes also loves! Mercedes Noel and Evangeline Rose.

 Butch and Joyce Weston are great hosts at Camp Live Oak, and I go back to grade school days with Joyce in Uvalde. Our cabin was perfect.

 Mercedes and Evangeline being introduced to the Frio. Not long and they'll get to learn the joys of floating in the cool water while it is 100 degrees out.

 This is Papa Wes's sanctuary spot.

 The temps were cool and perfect for a camp fire, some roasting hot dogs, and S'Mores!

 Kate has mastered the art of setting the marshmallow on fire, extinguishing it, and eating the smoking thing in one bite!

 I was enjoying my Frio-time.

 It really was a little too cool to swim, but it didn't hurt to wade.

 That's crystal clear water.
