After completing six months of volunteer work in South Texas we are getting our 5'er ready to start the trip north. Despite far above average rainfall for the winter season, we still got a lot of work done on the Refuge tracts by adapting our work days to mesh with the sunshine. Mainly, we repaired a lot of barbed wire fence and pole sawed many miles of overgrown four wheel drive roads. Of course, we also patrolled the many LRGV properties picking up trash and tires, replacing and posting new boundary signs, and reporting any other problems we didn't have time to fix. This was our sixth and longest stay here. We really enjoy what we do here, but we are ready for some new scenery and a little cooler weather.
We plan to stop in Austin and Dallas before we leave Texas at the end of April to move to our next volunteer job at Camas National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Idaho.

| We started using "Dri Wash 'n Guard" to clean/protect our new rig. We spent the day using this waterless car wash product. The ION version is best for clear coat applications. We really like this product. |
