From Douglas, AZ, we traveled east into Texas. Went through El Paso & then south to Del Rio.
Del Rio is on the Rio Grande and we've posted pictures of the dam & reservoir there.
From Del Rio, we went futher east to Hondo, TX, where we spent Easter.
Then drove through Louisiana & got on the Natchez Trace in Natchez, MS. It runs through Mississippi, a bit of Alabama, up to Nashville, TN. It is a beautiful drive, but we were shocked to see the all the damage from the tornadoes last week.
We are now in southern Ohio & will be in Toledo on Wednesday.

These were some wildlife we saw in Texas, but don't know what they are
