Weather still yucky so lets drive...

Thanks for joining us on our journey of North America
 in our Holiday Rambler, since August 2006

Where are we today ?

Glen Rose Texas

        Good sleep last night at Walmart in Midland Texas. We are ready to hit the road early but the local weather says could be icy bridges  etc.. So we compute a bit, coffees and a walkabout Walmart, Its freezing outside and still windy. But by 8:45 its all the way up to 38f, lets hit the road. I-20 eastbound.

287 miles today

        Yep its still a bit windy but not too noticeable driving, just take our time and listening to our hits from the 60's thanks to our satellite radio.The wind farms are doing well and we really notice it when we stop at the rest areas, wow get blown away!

         We passsed this tow truck pulling a tractor trailer out of a gully between the bridges, but for the life of me could not see any skid marks, broken guard rails or disturbed grass in the median. How did he get there?

hmmm..... how did he get there?

        Love the Texas rest areas, easy off, easy on,  walkabout stretch and a bite to eat.

here we stopped for a nice relaxing lunch

         May as well keep driving, too yukky to do much else and when we reach our destination we are set up for a week.

more I-20

        Finally shortly after 1 pm we are off the interstate heading thru some beautiful Texas back country, thru Stephensville population 15,000 .

nice back roads 

Stephensville Town square

nice old buildings

more nice country driving, AND green grass!

         Wow green grass, fields and leaves on the trees, we have not seen green almost all winter in the desert, really appreciate it now!

Coming into Glen Rose, maybe check this place out.

         Thru the town (Glen Rose, south of Fort Worth Texas), just our size population 2,000, love small towns. Then onto Tres Rios Resort, check in and get set up, relax, its still raining. This is a membership resort so we do not pay and get full hookups and huge sites, nothing fancy but clean, friendly and lotsa room. We could stay for two weeks, but choose only one week, then onto the next two resorts a week at a time, check em all out and visit different areas.

huge sites

        So now all setup, but had a problem with our slide out, I need to realign it, but its open for now I will fiddle with it when the weather gets better.

        Now an easy supper, leftover chicken pot pie, tossed salad and crescent roll filled the  gap and now put our feet up for the night.

love the leftovers

        Gotta love this lifestyle, thanks for stopping by!
