Weather: low 70 degrees in Bay City, Texas, high 85 degrees in Livingston, Louisiana, partly cloudy skies
We had breakfast with Lori and her family before leaving Bay City this morning. After our good byes, we were on the road by 0900 hours. Traffic was light until we got onto I-10 at Bay Town, east of Houston. Then it was fairly heavy the rest of the day, but flowed right along. We made good time, stopping for the night about 1700 hours near Livingston, Louisiana.
Over the last 20 years, we have driven I-10 between Florida and Texas several times a year. For most of that 20 years, I dreaded driving on I-10 in Louisiana because the road was in such terrible condition. What a turnaround Louisiana has made with this road. It is almost completely rebuilt, and is a pleasure to drive, except near some of the larger cities. I estimate that only about 30-40 miles would be considered rough at this time. Now, if only Texas would repair their portion of the road.
As I have written on the blog recently, we have a new RV. Here's a picture with the RV hooked up to the truck. We have lived in it long enough now that we can say that this new home is a far cry from the old RV. There is so much more comfort, convenience, insulation, storage, and on and on in the new home, we sometimes pinch ourselves to make sure we're not dreaming. The reason we waited so long to buy a new home was that we could not find something that grabbed us like this one does. The wait was worth it. That's about it for today. There's not much to say about a drive on the interstate, except it's a quick way to get somewhere.
More later, be safe.
