I am camped in #15 at Colorado Bend state park

(November 15, 2013)

I am camped in #15 at Colorado Bend state park. It's just Max and I tonight.  When I arrived there was only this spot that was not occupied or reserved.  It is the spot that I wanted anyway since it has a nice shady table and is also near the toilet.

Beautiful drive up here. Very little traffic so I was surprised to find the campsites filled.  This park has a very isolated feel. But they have installed wireless since the last time I was here. It is not strong enough to reach my site reliably, but I can go down to the park office and get a good signal if need be.

I am worried about my health.  I can only walk a short way and I am breathless. Numbness in both of my arms too.  I am ok as long as I do not exert myself but the slightest effort takes my breath away.

It is only nine pm, too early for bed but not much too do.  I believe that I will read awhile before sleeping. I am re-reading an Elmer Kelton book about early texas pioneers and their trip from Tennesee to Texas.  Very good book and this is about the third or fourth time I have read it.

I forgot to put my camera in the car, but will take some photos with my phone or ipad tomorrow.  I will have to move to a different park because someone has this spot reserved tomorrow.
