[Director's Cut: This journal entry was actually made on July 8th but has been restored to its intended place in the journal.]All we did was drive. We drove from Denton through Fort Worth and down to San Angelo. We stayed right at the Twin Buttes Park on the San Angelo Reservoir. Needles to say, we got there after dark (we left Denton at 3:00 p.m.) Being so close to the reservoir, the mosquitoes were horrible. We set up the tent and went to sleep.
[I remember this day being difficult. Where we camped was almost in the brush. It was very, very hot and like I said the mosquitoes were unbearable. You tried not to inhale to deeply for fear of sucking in a few. Setting up the tent was a race to get out of the swarm. Then we had to kill all of the ones that had gotten inside.
I remember being surprised by how hot, flat, and almost desolate Texas was in this area, although the picture is much more green than I recall this area being.]
