Where are we?

Yesterday was the worst day we've had so far during our trip. We got lost so many times that we were so happy to get back home. The day was planned to go to Cedar Hill State Park to try out their mountain biking trails. We got on Google Maps, Co-Pilot (our navigation system for the RV) and my Garmin handheld GPS unit to make sure we had the correct directions. Out of all three not one navigational unit had the new roads that have been built around Dallas. We eventually found the Park but then it was the same thing to get home. Nothing matched up to our maps.

Fields like this are a common sight along the roads we were on. After awhile, it all looks the same.

We tried stopping and asking a local for directions but she would never give us a good answer. She just kept looking down and once in awhile look at us as to say, "You're still here?".

Finally arrived at the single track trails for mountain biking. It was a great trail. Tight, hilly with switchbacks that left you dizzy. At one point I was out in front and I came up on this tight part of the trail that had tall grass closing in on both sides. All of a sudden, this huge bird came out of no where and almost hit me. It took off running up the trail ahead of me and finally ducked under the tall grass and disappeared. It was then that I realized it was a rode runner. Scared the crap out of me! Later, I had a field mouse come out of the trail and run along side of me for 10 feet before it too disappeared.

There are countless lizards or geckos that are sunning themselves along the trails and when they see you scatter off. Great trail. If we had more time we would definitely ride some more here.
Today, we are scheduled to visit Fort Worth and Dallas.
