Awake: 6:35am Temp 67 sleep 6+28 some clouds overnight @ Lake Livingston State Park, TX.
We sense the weather is brewing from the southwest but have no idea of when it might visit our neighborhood. In the meantime, Kathy has selected an herb farm to tour. The address was a little vague but Lady Garmin took it anyway & we were off; 25 miles later, our destination appears: a dusty dirt road in the middle of nowhere. (2) phone calls later & we learn nothing new; both #’s were bogus. According to our 2007 Texas Travel Guide, those #’s should have given us answers. Kathy was disappointed.
Back in our campsite, I get out the l-o-n-g brush & Glass Plus mixture & thoroughly clean off the coach’s roof, then hose off the rest of our coach to help rid the salt residue from the Gulf waters of Mexico.
7:30 dinner: Chicken stir fry with brown rice & artisan toast.
Late movie: “Inherit the Wind” with Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Gene Kelly, Florence Eldridge, etc. An absorbing adaptation of Jerome Lawrence-Robert E. Lee play based on the notorious Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, when Clarence Darrow defended & William Jennings Bryan prosecuted a schoolteacher arrested for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. 1960. If you haven’t seen this classic before, you might consider adding it to your list; the issue is real & still relevant today.
During the last 15 min of this movie, we could see lighting to the near west. At bedtime, heavy rain fell…..& I fell asleep.
