Day 2

  Friday found us relocating to Tyler state park. A wonderful park we had been to many times. It was a shorter day drive that was uneventful for the most part. There was a bad wreck on I-20 that had traffic backed up for several miles.

 After getting settled in our spot it was on to drinks and dinner with our good, long time friends Cheryl and Mike.

Day 1

 After a 250 mile day we arrived safely in Navarro Mills. Oak park to be more exact. COE park so priced right with our old farts pass. Rain and thunderstorms in the forecast, hope they are wrong. Just a one night stay so no touristy stuff. Love COE parks as a rule but the shower/bathroom for this area is deplorable. Luckily we have our own so no worries.

Plans, but flexible

  Have you ever planned a multi month camping trip? It ain't easy. Where to go, things to see, distance per day, where to stay. Can you stay where you want to? All issues that must be reconciled into a cohesive, fun trip. Have worked on this upcoming trip for months. Some locations require reservations months in advance, both camping spots and things you want to see and visit. Having said all that, even now this trips itinerary is in flux. Some planned attractions being dropped, new ones added.

 Gathering rosebuds requires flexibility...

2024 tour

  Time is drawing near for our trip. Thought posting a picture of stops and points of interest would be appropriate as we wait.

Winding down

  Our time as winter Texans is winding down. The weather has turned warm to hot but enjoyable. Great get together with friends. One more gathering planned before we head home on the 18th. We have adjusted well to Veronica petite size and have renewed for another year.

Splitting time

  After Christmas week in Mathis we moved to Sandpipers. Our initial stay was only 4 nights before we returned home to finish therapy sessions. Home for 10 days then returned to Edinburg. The weather was brutal for a few days with near record cold. Mary and I both came down with colds or some respiratory crud. Not fun, but the weather improved and so did we. Once again on February 1st we came back home and plan to return to SPR on the 12th. There we will stay till mid March when we will return home for the season.
