Pelicans attacking?
Nope, just getting a closer look at us. Is it my imagination, or are they reminiscent of Heckle and Jeckle? Or Spy vs Spy?
Island full of nesting Great Blue Herons.
Bottlenose Dolphin checking us out.
We saw lots more Whoopers than I show here, and I highly recommend the trip!

Whatchamacallits are my favorite breed of bird.
Regan,
They have those whatchamacallits up there? I thought they only had thingamajobbies that far north?

"Whoop It Up" looks like such a fun trip! Glad you guys had fun!! They are pretty neat creatures, huh? Hi, Nico!
Hi Tim, This is Wayne Sweet from Waterloo, IL. We met on the road between Leakey and Bandera Feb. 08. Glad to see that you guys are still out there putting on the miles. We are too, went to the Rockies in July. I started a new touring website, check it out when you can. I'd like to hear what you think about it. www.JourneyAmericaPatches.com
Tell your buddies hi for us. We'll get back your way sometime.
