Pecan Paradise

This is just a quick post about Pecans. Yes, the nut.

The park we are staying at this winter in Ingram, Texas was actually recommended by a fellow traveler we met in Deer Park. He suggested The Johnson RV Resort for a quiet, friendly, affordable winter stay. This place is all that and more. : )

There are only about 50 total sites here (currently only a couple dozen campers). We have a back-in site that views the pecan orchard. They have about 300 trees producing several varieties of pecans. (I didn't even know there was more than one variety)

This is a working pecan farm.

Plunk....plunk...plink...plunk...plink. Musical nuts falling to our roof from the trees above.

This is an all-day, everyday event. Campers are encouraged to collect all they can from around their sites and enjoy the tasty treats.

It becomes an obsession really. Finding one...leads to many others, and soon you've filled a bucket. This season should produce several thousand pounds for the farm, a welcome weight compared to the 40 pounds harvested last year.

Thanks for reading!
