OK, I really wanted to go to the TX gtg overnight tonight - but my reservation is for Tues, and I have a commitment tomorrow, and I really, really had to do some website work tonight - which I am doing now - just taking a break to come here - but had to share this.
I am in Texas Hill Country - stopped at one of my favorite TX state parks - have been telling myself I should workamp here for the past 3 years - it's Blanco State Park - one of the smaller state parks - but for some reason I like lots about it - the park itself - and it's only 4 blocks from town - it's a cute little town - I love the sites - good sized - I love the river - I like the peacefullness
Anyway - on to how it's a small world. I pull in and go in to register. The park is small - not lots of spots (plus a few cabins) - and a couple comes in because they saw my license plates - they are from Alabama and just workamped the past 2 months. So we chatted about Alabama a bit. Now, I didn't know them, so that's not too terribly proof of what a small world it is - but I thought it at that point anyway .... then ....
I got to my space, pulled out the slide and hooked up electric and took Peaches for a walk. We'd been walking about 45 minutes and were heading back via one of the bridges over the water towards the camping area and I heard a voice say "I drove 200 miles to see a neighbor?" Well, 2 things - one of my hearing aids had just had the battery die - and I really didn't expect to see anyone I knew, so I didn't pay attn. Then I looked up - and coming towards me was one of the other single ladies from the cg I work at This is her favorite TX state park (and she's been to near all of them, I believe) LOL - So she and I did another mile loop - and I almost didn't get any work done - she was building a fire and wanted me to come over and we'd fix dinner - but I was good - as I was missing my forum friends, I told her I disappeared to get work done when dark came- and I came back and have been working.
Then, 10 minutes after I get back - I get a call from one of the other ladies I'm friends with at the park in Port A - and she had just talked to this one - and she was just laughing so hard - said only I could manage to do disappear to have a neighbor show up I did tell her that at least it could have not spread quite so fast - what a small world it really is.
