Thanks, "mac". We are traveling with another couple who are huge train fans. Hope to interest them in your suggestion.
There is another spectacular train ride to be had if you get into southern Colorado. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railway operates between Antonito Colorado and Chama New Mexico.

Sumo,
If you like alligator photos, you might want to check out Brazos Bend State Park.

Wow! I absolutely hate WIN 10. Please point me to where I can learn to
make 10 look like 7.
Is it reversible? 7 back to 10?

Lee,
You might take a look at Open-Shell. It brings back the classic Start Menu and you can make your desktop look just like it looked in 7.
The start menu will have an item called "Apps" that will take you back to the Win10 desktop. I almost never use it.
Just Google it and you'll find it.

Grandpa,
Is your REAL name Rodney Dangerfield? LOL
Yeah, once you use a computer with two screens, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
This setup is two 4K monitors with a 1080P screen above that I can use as a 3rd monitor or a regular TV
The free LibreOffice also has an SQL database, an acceptable alternative to Microsoft Access.

Low self-esteem; same goes for tats and piercings.
Funny thing about tats and piercings... The justification claim is often that they believe it is an act of individuality and self-expression. The truth is, it's the ultimate act of conformity. They have just joined a huge and growing tribe by doing exactly as thousands of others have done.
The backward hats and droopy pants are the same. They wish to be identified with that tribe.
John,
Don't overlook the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.
Also near Lamar and Goose Island State Park, you may have many birding opportunities, including Whooping Cranes. They may be found this time of the year anywhere between the two red arrows.
In Fulton, you can join a boat trip on The Skimmer which may get you near them, as well.

PST,
Very sorry to hear of your misfortune. I have a similar condition. I had a motorcycle accident in 1996 that resulted in a brachial plexus nerve group separation around C5, leaving my left arm nearly useless.
In hope of dispelling any despair you may be feeling, I am proof you can enjoy photography with one arm. My "go to" cameras are bridge cameras; a Sony RX-10 IV and a Canon SX70 HS. For pocket cameras I also have and use a Canon SX740 and an Olympus TG-5. I've done considerable underwater photography with the TG-5.
In the DSLR realm, I use a Canon 50D and a Canon 7D, with a large assortment of lenses including a 100-400mm zoom and a 500mm fixed. To facilitate those larger lenses, I use a tripod with a Wimberley gimbal head. At the time I acquired the Wimberley, it was the only choice. I know there are less expensive gimbal heads available now. With smaller lenses, I can manage the DSLRs with one arm, but I use a tripod if it's convenient.
Some of my photos have appeared in a couple magazines, I have won awards in a photography contest, and I have pictures in a book entitled "Wildlife in Focus".
Best of luck to you,
Dick

Here's one that was taken by the camera.
It's not clear if you want pix of the camera, or pix that were taken by the camera.
Here's a few of the camera.
