Birdwatching at Sabine Woods Sanctuary

Last Saturday, I rode with Ed, Larry, and Paul over to the Sabine Woods Sanctuary in Sabine Pass, Texas, for some birdwatching. We saw quite a few migratory birds, got bitten by countless mosquitoes, and even saw a big fat wild rabbit._Lorenzo

 

The Last Day of BEW5 – A Farewell Video

Thanks to YouTube video editor, I am now able to post this super-shaky hand-held video. I hope it’s smooth enough rather than headache-inducing. It has been a while since I’ve been to one of these rallies; which makes me look forward to the next one in New Orleans all the more!_Lorenzo

FM1414, Dam B, Pickett House

Today’s ride started out foggy, misty, and being a little under-dressed, chilly (thanks a lot, James Brown).  By 11am, sunshine finally pierced through the clouds and kept us warm and toasty for the rest of this beautiful and wonderful ride!  Boy, we sure saw plenty of riders out there and covered a lotta roads today; yet most of all, what a great way to chase those winter blues away!  Of course, the fried chicken and pickled watermelon rind at Pickett House were Oh-so-good!
