Campsite #H24 same as last year.
We went to dinner with Jim and Edith Inks and had a great time. Jim and I spent a year together in Danang, Vietnam during 1971-72. I am getting old, I left Danang and got out of the Navy 45 year’s ago this month (November).

And one picture of Jack. 
They spent a million dollars buy the land from the old fort and rebuild some of the buildings.
The guardhouse was one of the only builds left from the original fort.
The museum in town is in one of the original hotels.
We have one of these at home which Jack has been using.
Fort Stockton museum talked about the cattle and how they helped to make the area grow.
This was a display showing where all the oil came from millions of years ago.
Lot of beautiful paintings.
Information about the oil companies that started here.
The sites are really close but at least it is not a parking lot, site 26.
We spent 2 and a half hours reading a lot of the information they have displayed about the presidents and their actions while president.
Painting and a informational plaque for every president.
Paintings of all the First Ladies and a ton of more information. The focus is how the presidents lead the nation during it’s many difficult times.
This was a cool painting of all the presidents.
Closer look at the right side of the painting. I know I could have taken a much better pictures. Anyway, this is a place I’d like to go back to if come back through here.
Campsite 
This wire was cut at one end and hanging by a few stands on the other end. The nickel is for size. This morning we drive to Walmart for groceries and wire to fix the flasher.
The only color Walmart had was red and black, hopefully red will work. 
The yellow turn signal wire was broken on both sides of the main frame. It looks like the wire was pinched to cause the separation. The upper picture also shows a green wire with some sharp bends in it where it has been pinched. I don’t see a pinch point where the wire could have been pinched, maybe this happen when the coach was assembled. Don’t know.
Anyway I spliced in a piece red wire and the light on the pickup worked. 
The drive. 
In site 74. 
If you go to the table area and go to the left you’ll see the river. 
Today was the first time we had to go to three Campgrounds to find a site. Stopped at Elephant Butte, they had a couple of sites however they were on steep hills. Caballo Lake sites were all full, we found a place at Caballo River Side which is below the dam an right on the Rio Grande River.
