December 15, 2018. Here in Mission, Tx, the nights are cool but the days are warm and sunny. Today it was 80 degrees again. We went back to to the State Park and hiked to the Hawk Tower. Last time we tried that we got lost. We slogged through the mud for a couple of miles, finally making our way back to the main trail, but no Hawk Tower. This time we had a map and found the tower. Unfortunately, there were no hawks or any other birds there. It was a beautiful day for hiking though and Pops took photos of some birds at the feeding stations. We also saw the place where the Wall will be built, starting in February. The park rangers told us that it will cut through the park but visitors will still be able to access the trails. We are thinking about getting a couple of bikes. There are lots of biking trails around here and it sounds like fun. We’ll see.
