While in Monument, we took a day trip to the

a major forest fire here that destroyed most of 
the structures in the park.




Tram ride across the Royal Gorge. Bunny and I rode it,
quite a sight!



Had a white buffalo at Royal Gorge animal park.
White, not albino, very sacred.

Ingram, Texas 1/13/2013

Made it to Ingram, in the Texas Hill Country




Johnson Creek RV Park is a nice place and is in a Pecan 
orchard.


Small RV park with lots of pecans


Nice sites


Orchard a good place to run the dog




This is the tractor they use to harvest pecans. The attachment
on the back wraps around the tree and shakes the tree
really hard and the nuts fall to the ground.


Every morning and evening a herd of these Axis Deer
came into the orchard to feed


There is a chapel at the RV Park for Sunday services,
weddings, and funerals.



Boss and his vary close friend "Cooper"


And another friend.......
