San Pedro Campground — Hotel in Del Rio

Easter weekend 4/18/25 and it's 11:30 pm and we're on the backside and away from the main camping area.

Cool planes flying nearby & camp has a memorial area for a plane crash. Walked a long way down to the water, what a hike! Also checked out the boat ramp...

Jesus might have helped them; I didn't get out bed or turn on the light; I called 911. He was in jail when I called the sheriff's office the next morning.

The 911 service is another story for...
