585. Picnic Penguin Rounds the Bend!
One more of the Wrubel family birds from Dudley, MA that did a marathon all the way to Marathon, TX!

No, this bird wasn't ready to hop out with the others we left behind in Boydton, VA towards the beginning of our most recent trip south. This was a penguin on a "Marathon Mission": Big Bend or Bust!!! So, we took him out with us across Texas and let him off at the last official picnic spot before reaching that particular national park - the last one of all the big mainland parks that we had left to visit as well! This roadside picnic area was on the west side of highway 385 just a few miles south of Marathon, and there we left him tucked in his little tiny pouch under the west side of the south-most rock, or at least that's what we seem to remember… hope he's still there if anyone else comes around the bend to visit!
