Canyon Lake, Texas

Weather: low 60 degrees, high 70 degrees, cloudy and fog until mid-afternoon, then clear skies

The weather was so yucky this morning and up until about 1500 that we decided to stay at home today. This kind of weather is not conducive to good sightseeing, and it's almost a waste of time to take any pictures. We discussed when we'll leave here, and where we'll go. After looking at the map and reviewing what is around several towns, we decided we would move to Kerrville on Sunday.

Why Kerrville? Well, we've not been there, it's still in the hill country, it's a fairly small town (~20,000 people), the kind of shopping we like is available (WalMart Mall, HEB, Chili's, etc.), and there seems to be a lot to see and do there and in the general area. Actually, those reasons are more than we need to go somewhere, but they are all good ones.

This is our site in Potter's Creek COE Park on Canyon Lake. This picture was taken late this afternoon just after I finished cleaning up the RV. When we moved here from Taylor last week, we drove through some light rain on I-35 that made the RV and truck filthy.

Potter's Creek is a nice park, and we have enjoyed our time here. The biggest negative is that we have to drive so far to get to shopping if we need anything. I'm talking at least 30 miles. However, the positives about the park outweigh the negatives.

When we were at Guadalupe River State Park yesterday, we saw some of the smallest pecans we have ever seen. I wonder how many of these pecans it would take to make a pie, and how long it would take to shell them? I don't know if the squirrels would bother with something this small. I have a nut picker upper (is that a real name for a tool?) that would allow these little guys to fall out.

More later, be safe.

In the really hot humid weather, do you have problems keeping the rig cool with just one a/c unit and multiple slides? Bob

We do have trouble keeping this RV cool in the hot and muggy weather we see in the south. Our plan is to have another air conditioner installed in the bedroom. The RV is already wired and prepped for a second air conditioner, so it should be an easy upgrade.

Maybe we should spend more time in cooler weather in the summer. Actually, that is our plan, but sometimes life gets in the way.
