Watching the world through our windshield...

While there isn’t a lot happening here at Canyon Lake due to closures it sure has been extremely peaceful here. The deer are seemingly getting used to the fact that there are hardly any people here. With just 6 campers in the whole park they are enjoying the solitude as we are and are more often venturing out among us.

For most of our stay the boat ramps have all been closed making the lake also quite peaceful. It is easy to take pictures of the lake without a soul in sight. We wouldn’t even know there were any other people in our area until we leave the confines of the COE park and head to town for a grocery run.

One nice thing about our location is that we have a choice of which HEB grocery store to go to as we are in the middle of so many towns nearby. One week we may go to San Antonio, the next San Marcos, New Braunfels or Spring Branch. By choosing a different one each time we also make sure to do a long loop drive which  eventually takes us to the grocery store. Our last run was into the town of Boerne Texas. It is nice way to break up the monotony of sheltering in place.

Each morning as I wake (I get up early in the morning) I am treated to sunrise views from our windshield overlooking Canyon Lake. We are so fortunate that the Corps of Engineers have allowed us to stay put until they reopen since, as full-timers, we really have nowhere to go. Home is where you park it in this lifestyle!

Of course with those serene sunrises we also see some really nice sunsets. Sunsets to our west gives us the impression that we may be in the Serengeti of Africa with the stubbiness of the live oaks thriving despite the impervious limestone around here.

Nights however, are not to be outdone as can be seen with this beautiful moon glow through our not so clean windshield! I guess I need to do something about that…

Cheers and stay safe!

NOTE: We are currently sheltering in place at Canyon Lake, Texas…
