Palace Inn Motel East Brownsville

Meghan and I were able to shoot the 300 Mag. in this afternoon. We were not able to find and Elk life size target for practice, but had to settle for this Whitetail Deer. She shot this target and scored in the Harvest Zone from 100, 200, 250 & 300 Yards.
All we need now is the Elk to walk out in front of her once we are hunting.

The "To Do" & "Get Ready" Lists continues.

We should be ready by this weekend, and have the majority of our stuff packed.
Still have a few things to buy, but overall we could leave tomorrow if we had to.
This is really going to be a fun ...

Hello All. We have really enjoyed our stay in Brownsville, TX to visit Jerry's parents. We don't see them often and it is always bittersweet when the visit nears an end.

We went out for a casual dinner with the parents and Jerry's brother, Juan, and wife Vivian. Then it was back to the hotel to begin packing up our belongings.

It is always a must to spend some time on South Padre Island. SPI is located about 20 minutes from Brownsville. Alex now knows about the "beach". He did not want to leave.

This was the girls first visit to the beach. They thought it was okay, but would have ...

The day has finally arrived. Mille and I are not sure how to feel knowing what we are getting ourselves into in the natural, but the conclusion I've come to is this:
I'd rather be in the will of God.
I'm not sure if this is even really happening, and we don't even have "specific" direction! Just GO. The plane to Brownsville was a tiny ...

... a-bed sofa, an end table with lamp, a chest of drawers, a desk and chair. Then on the right side, there's a full-size refrigerator and the water heater with shelves over it and the bathroom with a stall shower. The toilet was at a crazy angle, that was not good, so that was the first thing we had fixed, turning it to a, still not great, but better, angle.

Besides that, there's a storage room with full-sized washer and dryer and lots of ...

... Mexico. We'd just have fun browsing the shops, maybe buying some little things and having fun lunches at Garcia's, which is a large famous restaurant, bar and shop just over the border. We also got to know a lot of their friends at Autumn Acres, in particular, Shirley and Gary Maurstad, also from Ontario. The six of us would do a potluck dinner, then play ...

... brothers, our African brothers (different form African born in the U.S. brothers) our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters, the coalitions for mentally ill, and all people who stand for liberty and justice for all, not just those who have "papers". Please join with us to spread this message. I need help, what can you do, suggest, contribute? Uncle Tim from Texas.

... at the park. The second night we parked at the back of a Pemex gas station where we were joined by another r.v. from Quebec, Canada. We got up early yesterday morning, had a pancake breakfast in our fellow travellers r.v. bus, and drove the last 100 miles. This final border crossing was a breeze. On the Mexican side we drove up, showed our passports, the fellow at the booth wished us well and waved us on to the bridge over the Rio Grande. On the American side we were asked to give up any ...

One reason I'm taking the coastal route of course is that I’ve already done the Laredo Route, including police fine for littering, so this is new. Who knows what you’ll find around every bend, right? Also there’s a dirt cheap flight from Harlingen to Houston ...
