Matt and I have been enjoying the work we do at Davis Mountains State Park, and we have LOVED being with the people at the park and in the local community.
Matt and I are now working 3 1/2 days on and 3 1/2 days off. That translates to HOURS of play time!
We've enjoyed park staff picnics--
Verna, Tommy, Jason, and Tara at Becky and Gary's RV. (Becky and Gary were leaving for home after volunteering for 6 months...They are still sorely missed!) |
Jacob pointing-out geological features across the valley. Note the gorgeous lime colored lichen on the rock behind him. |
More recently, we went on a full-moon hike guided by Tara. That too was a GREAT one!
We've enjoyed the Fort Davis Trunk-Or-Treat--
People gather on a designated street, decorate the trunks/beds of their vehicles, and pass out candy. Great idea for rural communities! |
Matt in mask....He still loves Halloween! |
Eliza, Jacob, Sienna, Matt, Rebekkah, Bea, and Andy Park families at the event! |
Bea, our favorite penguin |
Sienna, our favorite mermaid |
Noah, our favorite ninja |
We've enjoyed hiking and nature--
Rainbow in the primitive area of the park |
Hiking on the Green Trail in the Boy Scout Camp near Fort Davis. Matt, Eliza, Jacob with Sienna Noah, amazing "monkey boy", is ahead of us on the trail. |

We are enjoying our neighbors and the views--

Davis Mountains State Park is a wonderful place in which to volunteer! We have already signed-up to to repeat the experience next year--smiles! For those of you thinking about visiting, we will be here again October and November 2015. I would highly recommend the area, the people, and the opportunities!
Hope you are all well and happy!
Smiles and love,
Susan and Matt
