Texas May 12-13 There were intended as travel days, but these turned into waiting days of sorts. The first was necessitated because personnel at Texas Parks & Wildlife haven't yet processed my permit request to work in State parks in West Texas and in the Texas Panhandle. I went to the Parks & Wildlife Department office and lobbied for prompt action. By the end of promised to be tomorrow morning the day the permits were in my hands. I spent the evening with Jonathan, Carol and Jordan Shearer, whom I met last year as friends of a Burbank friend. They graciously put me up & advanced warning of my arrival. On the morning of May 13 I picked up my permits, and headed toward Davis Adventures State Park, with permit copies for Kelly Bryan, chief park superintendent for this park of the State. On the western outskirts of Dec Rio, I realized my field notebook was not on the front passenger seat. I called too Shearers, because parks & wildlife was already closed. Fortunately, it was at the Shearer house, and Carol had put it up out of Jordan's nose. I returned to Austin and spent another, unexpected night in a city again. This night I picked up some fares from the family cat.
