A Dry Run

Monday.  Today is the day we have been looking forward to going to the Walker Memorial Baptist Church over near Bandera for the 2011 Gospel Sing-a-long for senior adults starting at 10:00 AM.  We have the address and the directions so off we go, leaving the Q about 8:30.

The Bandera courthouse comes into view. 100_4810

The Medina River has water.  That’s good to see.100_4811

Heading on out of Bandera, we turn left on Wharton’s Dock Road, which is where the church is that we are going to.100_4812

And then, the yellow center stripe was gone were were in a very remote feeling area.  We came to the Walker Memorial Baptist Church and there were no cars in the parking lot, so we drove on.  We were both curious as to why the would be a road out here that indicated there was a body of water.100_4813

We found the “lake!”100_4814

And a cat way down on the reservoir dry bed. 100_4815

I wonder if this is Whorton’s Dock or what’s left of it?100_4816

Can you imagine how these people must feel, thinking they had purchased water front property?100_4817

There is not much water in this lake. 100_4818

And what water there is, isn’t very deep. 100_4819

Turning around, I found this oxymoron.  And it had a sign on that said, “Open!” 100_4821

That is where we turned around and headed back to Bandera.  We passed the again, wondering why they didn’t get the word out that the sing-a-long was cancelled.100_4822

And if Pastor McGarity lived in the house next door, he didn’t come out to offer any explanation.

100_4824 Not one single car in the parking lot.  Nothing.100_4825

Oh well.  We’re seeing new areas and there’s also clouds back this morning.100_4826

That is a real bummer that they cancelled and didn't let anyone know!! Maybe rain is on the way!
