Home to Texas

Left Wellington Texas Saturday morning around 9:30a.m. Started out misty, turned drizzly, then rained, then poured the entire trip home. Was going to stay at a little RV Park/Antique Store/Hair Salon in Eden, Texas. I slowed down and looked before pulling in - way too muddy - was afraid I'd get stuck. So decided to continue to Menard, Texas. Got to Menard and decided to go on to Junction, TX. Got to Junction and decided I was only an hour from home so onward - in the rain. Got to Kerrville about 6:30 pm and the rain stopped but boy is it humid. Got to my site, hooked the electric and took the dogs for a walk and we all went to bed.

Thoughts from the trip: Texas goes on forever! Even only going halfway thru the state is bigger than some small countries. Saw some plowed fields that were really red. Saw a lot of Texas lawnmowers (goats). Why do birds along side the road ALWAYS take off across the road right in your path? Do they have a death wish? Why do people slow down when I pull halfway off the road and slow down so they can get around me? Do they want a written invitation to pass? Do they NOT have a working gas pedal? See fields of cotton plants that look like they have little puffy clouds growing on them.

Slept like a rock. Then started fixing up my site starting with leveling the RV. Felt like I was going to roll out of bed last night. Its beautiful here - big trees. Luckily got my satellite to work in spite of the trees. Couldn't do two and a half months with no TV. Took the dogs for a looooong walk. Ran a few errands, took a nap, and took the dog for another long walk in the early evening. This is such a pretty park.

Great news that you are back safe and sound. That looks like a nice campsite. It's always nice when there are trees and grass,... And more than just a cement pad. it looks great.

Welcome home to Texas Karen! I know what you mean about driving across half the state. My last day route is usually from
Van Horn to Austin, love my stop in Junction though, there's a shop downtown called "Conchos and Crosses", do you know it?
Have fun setting up your new site, it looks so nice and green.

Nice looking site Karen. Trees, bushes and grass, oh yeah my kinda spot.

Know what ya mean about the final push/pull to get home. Like a giant magnet pulling on you to just go a little bit more, then a little more, then a little more, then a little more until your done. LOL

Glad to see ya home in TX and safe too!!!

Well, if you had pushed a day or so sooner, we could have got together in Fredericksburg while I was up there LOL - I know you pushed already- and I had to go when I had the chance on my days off. Will really be looking forward to getting together - and staying at the beautiful park in November - sure is purdy.

Glad you have back safe and sound - with civilization and restaurants LOL - course it's gonna cost you money with all the eating out you'll be doing now :)
