We reached our temporary spot in East Texas. This campsite is beautiful and free! Outside of Zavalla in East Texas at a spot called lake bouton campsite. We got here a few days ago on the 10th and a few minutes later got the call that Andys mom had passed. May she rest in peace and not be in pain anymore. It's been an emotional time, but I feel like spending some time in the woods was necessary and good for the mental health. Weather has been great. A little warm actually. Which confuses my brain after all the cold we just left. We've been finding all kinds of things. We found almost an entire beaver skeleton, armadillo spinal column, possum skull and a vulture skeleton. And that's just the dead stuff! The kids found a frog and a salamander today and foraged some mushrooms. It's been fun times.
