Moving on down the road a nice water tower in Big Spring TX,
 |
| this one and next for Patsy |
 |
| cool one in Cisco as well |
No off the interstate taking the back Texas back roads. and they are wonderful . Speed limits still 70-75 mph with large paved shoulders. We don't drive that fast so the normal here is if someone behind you and wants to pass, keep going on the large paved shoulders, they are happy and so are we.
 |
finally off the interstate at exit 340 on Texas 6 heading to
Whitney TX. |
Lots of wonderful small towns and villages , one that we came across was Dulbin, and we realized that we have been here before. Thought it was home of the Dr. Pepper the Museum, a few years ago we were here and sure was a fun tour. Check out the Web site
HERE. Ok, I checked it out the the museum is actually in Waco Texas, and we were there.

Dr . Pepper in Dublin TX
Museum in Waco |
We arrived at Sun Country Resort at 3 pm, checked in and got set up on a nice large pull through site, Temperature only 79 f , overcast and windy , but still great, for shorts, sandals and t shirts.
 |
nice large site and a membership park so no overnight fees with
FHU's for us for a week. |
Our verizon and cell phone work great too, plus we have free wifi at the clubhouse, bonus for downloads.
Just after we set up noticed this propane guy around the park, asked if he could top our coach. No problem, he was there before me and was done in record time. Not a bad price,$3.00 a gallon and we do not have to go looking for it. 8 gallons for the last 3 weeks of boon docking. we can handle that.

Next its time for supper. tonight a coup[le of pan fried cod filets, grilled lemon and grilled fresh asparagus. Add to our salad, sure hit the spot tonight.

| even had some fresh strawberries as well. |

What a nice travel day we had, bit longer than we like , but can now hang out here for a week, with no overnight fees and full hook ups. Think we may do some looking about if we not too busy reading. No Matter the weather is amazing and into the mid 80's for the next week.
Thanks for stopping in today and enjoying our journey with us.
Where have we been this Winter
Looks like you had a great travel day. Now it's time for some great Texas hospitality.
ReplyDeleteThats for sure love Texas too!
DeleteSo I missed a few days of reading blogs and you two have done some moving. Sounds like you had some nice traveling weather and you have landed in a beautifully green spot. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteVery nice travelling weather, the green of spring and the trees is nice. Looking for some spring flowers now.
DeleteSound like a good day traveling and a good spot to stay, rest and have some more fun time.

We have not to been this way for a few years so nice to check it out.
DeleteLooks like you have the campground to yourselves.
ReplyDeleteNice and quiet, in the section we are in, love it !
DeleteHomestead Heritage Traditional Crafts Village in Waco is a really neat place to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, maybe next time.
DeleteLooks nice on the grass and I'll look forward to seeing those water towers again on our way home. Ones like them, I mean. Thanks George for thinking of me!enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteWalking in the green grass, so soft, is sure different, than what we have had most of the winter, nice treat.
DeleteThat was our home park when we were with C2C we bought a resale membership in FL and this was the home Park.
ReplyDeleteIt was quite nice when we first went there. We would spend time there Going and coming from the RGV. It changed hands several times. The last time we stayed there it had been taken over by the Gulf course. The were going to do good thinks to the place and were looking for campers to invest. I know that a number of the people that had big covers over there RVs had put some money in the place earlier.
Then we got a litter from Cost to Cost That they were dropping that park and offered us other home parks we could pick from. We dropped our membership as it no longer worked for us. Almost ten years later we got a call from the park asking us to pay our maintenance fees and that they also had a great opportunity for us to invest in the beautiful park they were creating. One thing that we remember about Whitney was the Mexican restaurant that was there. On a backstreet.
We have seen this park go down and now it is being cleaned up again. New Washrooms, club house laundry room , much cleaner now. It is still C2C plus other memberships. It works for us as well we enjoying moving all year round.
DeleteI'm glad they are fixing it up a bit. The club house looks better. Is that the one beside the pool? How are the electric hookups? I got to the place that I would get out and check it before pulling in to a site. Sure glad they are fixing it up. They must have had to do that to get back with C2C. Enjoy your time there. Safe travels.
DeleteThat is the clubhouse beside the Pool yes, Mini golf done, check in gate /guard house, the grubby trailers gone. Road coming in is still rough, but they are making improvements slowly. Our power is fine, have a surge protector to keep and eye on it. Golf course looks better than before as well.
DeleteI don't think that truck looked too bad, nothing a little duct tape couldn't fix... :c)
ReplyDeleteThat's fore sure it was only placates anyway, lol...At least it did not roll.
