On The Road Again

Waco, Texas

Weather: low 28 degrees in Gen Rose, high 64 degrees in Waco, clear skies, calm winds until the afternoon, then winds up to 20 mph

The title of this post should give readers a clue that we have left Glen Rose. We were there for five months, when we only expected to be there for about a month. Some good things came out of the time spent in Glen Rose, including visiting with friends and finding out what was causing Carolyn's vertigo problems. However, after five months, it's time to hit the road again.

When we got up this morning, we were not sure if we would leave or not. After checking today's weather, we decided that we would probably not have a better day to start traveling. We took our time getting ready and pulled out about 1030 hours. Our destination was Waco, because we have passed through there several times, but have not stopped. There are several things we want to visit, and a US Army Corps Of Engineers (COE) campground on Lake Waco that we want to stay in.

After a loooong drive of 60 miles - just kidding. It wasn't long at all. It was a beautiful day, traffic was light, and the road was good. Perfect conditions for traveling. We are parked at the Speegleville COE campground. Our closest neighbor is about 150 yards away, and there are only two other RVs here. We are about three miles west of Waco.

After parking and setting up the RV, it was near 1400 hours, and we had not eaten lunch. Since the Backyard Burger restaurant is only about three miles away, we decided we just had to have one of those great hamburgers. Ummmm, boy!! Good!

After getting back from lunch, we set up the satellite dish so we could watch TV. After such a busy day, it was then time to meditate a little, which I did. I think Carolyn did too, but I didn't catch her with her eyes closed. Of course, she could have been meditating with her eyes open. Some people are able to do that. I haven't been able to master that feat yet.

Tomorrow, we plan to do a little sightseeing. Our campsite is next to the lake, so I'll take some pictures of where we are parked and put them out with tomorrow's post.

More later, be safe.
