A frog strangler

During the night we had a pesky visitor to our tent. The raccoon repeatedly tried to get in our food bag that was on our trike. I would have to chase him away as he just won't give up. Finally, it got to the moth balls and ran off with them, but not very far, as they didn't smell or taste very good. After that, all was quite. We were the only 2 for the 9:00am tour of the cavern. The cavern had lots of unusal features and the history of it's formation was very interesting. We even saw a few small bats hanging on the walls. We packed up our gear and left the park at 10:45pm. Today, we fought a 20-25mph headwind all the way to Mooreland. No coasting on the downhills. We had several oilfield workers stop and ask if we were okay or needed anything. We said no, but thanks for checking. As we neared the airport, Dee called out for me to stop. Money on the road. We picked up $4.05 on the shoulder of the road. Our camp neighbors drove by and honked as we neared Mooreland. We had a late lunch at the convenience store and Dee checked the weather. We were greeted with 100% chance of rain for later in the afternoon and overnight plus winds in excess of 30 mph. We needed a motel room again, so much for roughing it. Hew, at least we got to watch pro footfall. We'll see what the weather has in store for us tomorrow.
