A couple of days ago I described our day from hell. Well we were blessed with a very pleasant drive south from El Dorado KS to Thackerville OK. Had dinner in the casino at a fast food place we liked in past. The meal was very enjoyable. Decided we would donate a few bucks so we walked around the casino. It was a freaking madhouse nightmare. So much so we both wanted to leave. Total contribution on our part $8
That brings us to Monday morning. It rained a little during the night but not much. This segment of our trip always concerned me because of construction in Fort Worth and Waco. I was not to be disappointed. The traffic was bad because of the construction but for added pleasure it poured and then it really rained. While it rained most of the trip, the heaviest downpours where were you would expect them. Construction delays/narrow lanes and road flooding during a torrential down pour will cause some stress.
Thankfully we are now at Bastrop State park. A shadow of it's former self. While forest restoration is underway, the virgin pine canopy is not to be found. We last visited in 2015. Since then growth outside the park has far exceeded that inside the park. No longer a sleepy little country town.
More later...
stop and smell the roses...
