Victoria, TX



A lovely and uneventful drive from Alvarado to Victoria Texas.  We are staying in a nice little park called Southbound RV park.  We drove hilly country and are now in the flatter plains.  There were lots of Oak trees along the way.  Trying to identify them is challenging.  In the fall, most oak trees, such as the red oak, pin oak, scarlet oak, Shumard oak and post oak change colors to red or yellow. However, some forms of oaks, such as the live oak tree, do not. Texas also has white oak, gobbler sawtooth oak, overcup oak, Chinkapin oak, bur oak, water oak, etc.  In fact there are somewhere around 50 varieties of oak in Texas.  Ok so I give up.  In Manitoba we have Bur Oak.  There are 13 species in Canada.  


434 Km.
