Mexican Border

When we left Kingsville, we went to Harlingen, on the southern tip of Texas, and met up with our friends again.  (Paul & Joyce)  Jack rabbits were all over the place, they'd crawl under the fence and eat on the lawns.  On this walk, when I got to this lawn there were about a dozen of them sleeping.  I had to wake a few up to see their ears pop up.

When we left there we drove along the edge of the Rio Grande to Laredo.  I was amazed at how much trash there was everywhere, along the road sides, in towns, everywhere.  Bags, cups, paper, etc.  And Texas has a $1,000 fine for littering.  I don't think it's working.  This was a road side picnic area, look at the pile of trash, and paper scattered everywhere.

We came to Fort Clark in Brackettville. 
Our main reason for being here was to see The Alamo Village Movie Location where the original Alamo movie with John Wayne was filmed in 1959.  When we registered we found that it closed about 5 month ago.
