This picture, posted to my Instagram feed (jhcoxon) got one response, a perfect "Swim to America and freeze your ass off" from Jack.
Moving day
Today was moving day. My allowed three weeks at Paseo del Rio expired and I needed to leave the park for a week and not feeling like going far I moved downstream 20 miles to the riverside primitive camping at Caballo Lake State Park. I think I might stay here a while - this is a nice spot.

Mix With the World
I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it. . . . I can speak from experience on the subject. From 1793 to 1797, I remained closely at home, saw none but those who came there, and at length became very sensible of the ill effect it had upon my mind, and of its direct and irresistible tendency to render me unfit for society, and uneasy when necessarily engaged in it. I felt enough of the effect of withdrawing from the world then to see that it led to an anti-social and misanthropic state of mind, which severely punishes him who gives in to it; and it will be a lesson I never shall forget as to myself.
