Magnus Goes Caving, Finally! Day 6

Monday 17 March

Last day at S Llano River State Park

We took another walk through the turkey roost area in the morning, where we fulfilled a long-held desire of Ed's to see a porcupine alive in the wild. We saw the first one down on the river trail, high up in a tree crooked in an intersection of big branches. He was curled up in a ball and snoozing away, and all of our looking and walking about and wondering didn't budge him. But we got a good enough look at the ball of fur and the tail to know what it had to be. It seemed huge!

 

And then we went away from the river walking through a rather boring trail that started behind Lara's Blind, and back in there we saw another one. Wow.

After that I headed by myself to a couple of the blinds and spent a good bit of happy time there.  And that's about it for South Llano River State Park. Great place.
