Wisdom

We went to one of the "restaurants" at the park for lunch. The day was hot, not much breeze going through the seating area. A lady across from us was being treated for heat exhaustion - first by her husband, later by the park medic. The rangers came to check on the situation. We watched them box her lunch and she was taken in the medic's vehicle for further treatment. We were doing OK . . . . . we were drinking lots of water, we had our hats . . . . but we knew we were tired, we knew we were underpowered . . . yes, it was HOT - Texas hot. We had gotten a feel for what the Wildlife park was like. I genuinely hope to come back. Future ideas - bring the RV - escape during the heat of the day to the air conditioning, nap, and return for the late afternoon and evening happenings at the park. The photography trip and the overnight at the park are on my list. But this time, the wise thing was that we had seen the highlights. Tomorrow was moving day, and Saturday was the convention. We walked through the aviary near the exit and called it a day.
