Locked-down in Texas

We are under orders to shelter at home and not go out unless it is absolutely necessary. The parks are closed with yellow tape around the playground equipment. Drinking fountains are covered in plastic. Signs telling people to stay home are around them.

But this is Texas. There are wonderful little places along the river if you know the back roads. Near us there is an old cattle crossing used when the Chisholm Trail came through here. Today it was in the 80's and the crossing was THE PLACE to be! People fishing, kids swimming, guys sitting in the shade with a cold beer, picnic baskets ... everyone enjoying the time off. If you can't go to work, make the best of it, right?
