Concho River Walk in San Angelo, TX

Sunday, June 3, 2018  -  continued

The Concho River runs all through town and the walk is miles and miles long.  We first headed to the Concho River Park.
Above and the 2 pictures below were taken a short distance from downtown where the river is running through a less commercial part of town.



As I said above, the Riverwalk is miles long, we  moved to the area near the Visitors Center and downtown. The rest of this post will be the Riverwalk near downtown San Angelo.
At the very beginning of our downtown walk we saw these 3 ducks together. We decided they were Huey, Louie and Dewey.


There were also lots of squirrels. This one was on a rock at the river's edge. It stayed frozen like this a long time. We thought maybe it thought that if it was still we would not notice him. Ha Ha


There were lots of walking and driving bridges that crossed the river near downtown and the Visitors Center.


From under one of the driving bridges. On the far side you can see something. There will be pictures later as we walk back on the other side of the river.


The building is the Visitors Center. There is both a driving and separate walking bridge farther down.

Now you can see both bridges.  We will be crossing the farthest bridge which is the walking bridge.


One of several multi-million dollar homes we saw along the river. We took this picture as we crossed the walking bridge.


Opposite direction from the walking bridge. This is a very pretty area of San Angelo.


Also from the walking bridge we crossed we could see 3 bridges.  
Dusty is headed up the rock stairs to the entrance of the Visitors Center. This is beautifully landscaped. There are several man created waterfalls that were not running. We asked why and were told they are all being cleaned. Timing is everything.


Here we are looking from the portal between the Visitors Center and the public restrooms towards the front of the center. 


This is the stuff we could see from the other side of the river and did know what it was. This artwork is completely tiled. Notice the feet in the window in the picture below.

This was also under the same bridge.


On up the river closer to downtown, we saw this radio controlled sailboat,  They were having fun of this calm day.


This is another completely tiled full-sized truck.  There was artwork scattered all around.
    The temperature was only supposed to get to 91 today. However, by now (2pm) it was close to 96. We decided that was enough and headed home.
     We have enjoyed our stay here and will be back in November. It will be much cooler then.  Tomorrow we head to Big Spring,TX on our way to Carlsbad, NM.
