Moving Day

Waco, Texas

Weather: low 49 degrees in Glen Rose, Texas, high 74 degrees in Waco, Texas, partly cloudy skies

We took our time getting ready to leave this morning, and even went in to Glen Rose for breakfast before we started putting stuff up. Once we were back at the RV, I took care of my usual departure stuff, while Carolyn did her thing inside. We hooked up and pulled around to the park office and told our friends Jerry, Joyce, and Burl goodbye. We were pulling out of the park by 1200 hours.

The drive planned for today was only about 60 miles to the Speegleville US Army Corps Of Engineers campground, about 4 miles west of Waco off Texas 6. Speaking of the name Speegleville, every time I see that word, it conjures up images of cartoon characters. We have stayed here a couple of times before, and always enjoy our stay. Usually, the park is empty or almost empty, but today there were about eight other RVs here. No problem, the sites are spread out, and there's plenty of room for all. We set up, including the satellite dish, and settled in for a well deserved rest. After all, that was a hard drive of about 60 miles we just made.

About 1700 hours, we talked a little about supper, and decided we would go to the Back Yard Burger restaurant. Good idea except for one thing: It was closed. Looks like another restaurant bites the dust. With that disappointment, we decided to go back home and eat there. Then a little reading, watching CSI on television, writing the blog.....

Tomorrow, we have some things planned to do that should provide some good writing opportunities, and fun for us.

More later, be safe.
