Weather: low 45 degrees, high 67 degrees, fog early, then clear skies
We left Holiday Park COE campground, located near Benbrook, Texas about 1000 hours this morning. Our tentative plan was to travel south on I-35 toward Waco and Austin. Looking at COE sites near Austin, we found one near Salado that sounded like it might work for us. We pulled into Union Grove COE Park, located on Stillhouse Hollow Lake about 1300 hours. The travel time included us stopping near Temple for lunch. This is a picture of our site, located near the lake. A little note for those who pay attention to those types of things: this is the second park in a row that our site number has been #13. We don't know anything about this area, so we may spend a few days exploring. It's not that far from the Marble Falls and Georgetown area, where we spent some time last winter. It's also close to Fort Hood, so we may check out that area, especially some of the museums. New territory to explore - it doesn't get any better.
While we were dumping our holding tanks this morning, Carolyn was talking to an older gentleman of 79 years old. He was from England, and had traveled all over the world. He liked the US so much that he settled down in Missouri. He has been to 40 states, as well as most of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. He lost his wife of 49 years several years ago, but married again about five years ago. His biggest concern with life was that his health would deteriorate to the point that he couldn't travel again, and would have to depend on his children to take care of him. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
More later, be safe.
