Fort Davis

We visited the old historic site at fort Davis which was a military outpost in the mid to late 1800's, it's purpose to protect travelers and the mail on the El Paso to San Antonio road. There are many restored/ refurbished buildings to view- plus we visited the resident horses. Bridget couldn't resist a photo of an ant hill. They are everywhere. And any tree she can climb, well, she"ll be in it :) Afterward we had ice-cream in a green caboose! The old rail car has been converted to an ice cream shop- very cool. And yes mom, Mark did see a roadrunner, but we haven't been lucky enough to see a quail, although they were pictured at the visitor center so we've been on the lookout. The doves are sure loud around here!
