Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful potluck dinner served in the rec hall here at the park. About 50 people attended and had plenty of food. We had great weather with sunshine and 71 degrees.

Alpine Artwalk

November 18 and 19th were this years date for Alpine’s Artwalk. This is a annual event that attracts thousands to town. Lots of art, a parade, live music, and more. We went with our friends from Marathon and had a great time. More about Artwalk HERE. 

Even the pickups are “artwork”.

Food, food, and more food!!

How about an art themed parade…

Lonesome Duck car

1931 Ford

Very nice car…don’t know what make and model, but nice!!

This one was the most unique vehicle in the parade.

Very talented artist

We just missed the blacksmith workshop.

More live music…This guy was very good.

Artist at work.

Silent auction items. Proceeds go to the Alpine Public Library.

This artist drew a large crowd with his pottery making demo.

More live music just off the main street

Functional art.

This homemade truck camper was really something to see.

All that walking made us tired…some more tired than others.

We now understand why so many people come to Alpine for Artwalk every year. It was great and had something for everyone.

First Freeze

We woke up to warm weather today with gusty winds. Friday night is forecast to a low around 32 degrees. So we might have our first freeze. We just had our motorhome hooked up to an external propane tank so we will have plenty of fuel for heating. Winter is not far off.

Alpine Sites

It’s been pretty rainy the last few days so when it cleared up for a couple of hours today I was off to find some photo subjects.

This is one of the Catholic churches with some great views.

Some art in a park.

Very Creative!!

This is South of Downtown Alpine looking North towards Fort Davis

The Holland Hotel. Built in 1928

Well enough walking today, so let’s drive out South of town towards the big hill.

This is the view back towards Alpine from the South.

It started to cloud up some more and was raining about 15 minutes after I got back.

Grilling Time

We picked up some T-bones on sale with some tasty pork chops.

They were GOOD!!!

Natural Pest Control

We usually take a walk every evening before dark around the park. We had seen this owl before, but never got a picture. Just had my phone so not the best.

Great Horned Owl
