Moving Day In The Wind

Kerrville, Texas

Weather: low 46 degrees, high 60 degrees, clear skies, WINDY!!!!

The wind was blowing out of the west with sustained gusts of at least 30 mph most of the day. Normally, we don't like to travel when the wind is blowing as hard as it was today. Consulting Ms. GPS, she found a route for us that allowed us to stay off the major highways for most of the trip of about 75 miles. That gave us the comfort level we needed to go ahead and leave Canyon Lake.

We hadn't dumped our black water tank for the last 11 days, so that was the first order of business when we pulled out of our nice campsite at the Canyon Lake COE campground. Dumping the tanks took us about 15 minutes, and we were on our way. We followed FM 306 west to US 281, then north to FM 473, then west again across the hills to I-10. Then we turned to the west on I-10 for about 15 miles to Kerrville.

Finding the RV park we were going to was easy with Ms. GPS's help. The biggest problem we had setting up was getting the satellite dish tuned in for a signal. I worked on the dish for about 45 minutes, with no success. Finally, I decided to walk away for a little time. About an hour later, I was able to get a signal in less than five minutes. That dish can be so aggravating!

By The River RV Park, where we chose to stay, is located on the banks of the Guadalupe River. Pictures will follow later. Much to Carolyn's delight, we're not far from town. It's close enough that we decided to drive about two miles to a local restaurant, Billie Gene's, for supper. The restaurant is a family style restaurant, featuring Texas type food, such as chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, steaks, etc. The food and service were good, and we brought home enough chicken fried steak that we know what lunch will be tomorrow.

After supper, we drove through Kerrville's downtown. It appears that this area is a major winter Texas destination, as there are several RV parks here, and they are all just about full. The town has all the shopping we could ask for, including the WalMart Mall and an HEB grocery store. There are several things we want to see in and about the area, so we should be busy for a few days. Stand by for new adventures.

More later, be safe.
