More Fort Davis






It was very cold at night in this beautiful, elevated place. Our water hose froze the first night and we had to wait for the sun to thaw it out in the morning. The next night we unhooked the water before bed. The campground wasn't busy at all so our two families had a whole section to ourselves and the kids (and adults) could be noisy. There was a great game of 'what time is it mr. fox?'

A large javelina wandered around our site at night, a grey fox crept just near enough to our campfire for us to see him in the dim light, and a male and female deer were always around. We often saw them grazing on the nearby hills and at night they came right into our campsite, obviously they've learned to check for handouts. The female deer would have eaten out of Kyra's hand if we'd let her.
