A short hike to the Medina River

It was a short hike, only 1/3 of a mile each way, but hey we don’t want to over do it.

The Medina river rises near the town of Medina about 16 miles away, it’s a crystal clear and green. Yes green, I'm not sure but I believe it is caused by copper in the water, but please don’t quote me as I may have that totally wrong!

Our walk started here at the RV park and wound around a field containing some very friendly donkeys and some Texas longhorns with some very long horns, we chatted to the donkeys but gave the longhorns a very wide berth.

We continued along past a lovely white gazebo with a picnic area, through some juniper trees with deer grazing and shortly after arrived at the river, where there were more picnic benches.

A trail led down to the rivers edge, so we wandered down for a look around and then returned to the picnic benches to sit a while and soak up the sun.

You have absolutely no idea just how demanding retirement is. Ah well, such is life!

Have fun, we are!
