We have Moved to Weatherford, TX

Our stay at the Bear Creek campground was shortened when a camper complained about our taking over the site he wanted. We had stayed at the other park 13 days and moved to get the full hook ups at Bear Creek, space #2. The ranger came by and said we had stayed 13 days already and the liimt is 14 days at any park at the lake in a 28 day period. Since we had paid for 14 more days we could stay but we had to move at the end of that period. We need to look for a place to move to.

We looked at all the rv commercial parks in the Fort Worth, Weatherford area and stumbled on this one when we were headed home. Its a small park of 16 spaces just off the US180 split form I20 in east Weatherford. Parking on grass with 50 amp, water and sewer. The price is $8.00 a day to finish out the month, then its $225.00 plus electric, TXU ($0.14 per kwh) not the park, with a 3 month stay. Pretty much works out to the $10-$11 per day we had payed to the COE at Benbrook Lake.

We are located at 2505 Fort Worth highway, US180, east of town or down the hill from Wal-mart. And about 5 minitues from DW's mom and dad. And two close golf courses and three more a little bit further away.

We will go to Camping World on Tuesday afternoon for our awning. Our cost will be about $1000.00. While out on the raod, I'll get propane and get ready for the coming Texas summer. DW is job looking and when one is secured, we will move to that location and set up house. As with the Tab'ster we need to put cash into the bank account.

Pictures will be later as the camera is going in for repairs. The strap came loose in Andrews earlier this year, fell on the concrete and bent the batter cover. While we are parked, its time for that repair. Soon it will be all fixed and ready to break again.

Gas is cheaper by the new Wal-mart east of town and the Raceway nearby, $299.9. Otherwise its $3.05 or more on the interstate. Drive safe and enjoy the sights.

Beginning of a New Week

We both visited the eye doctor and got that done. Shirley has her new contacts and is trying them out. She hasn't wore contacts in several years so its a new beginning for her. I've never wore contacts so it will be a new experience for me. I just haven't got them yet. There on order and should have them this week.

The awning for the rv is not in. The replacement is a new type as the older type is not made any more. And is cost more money too. It should be in later part of the week and installed by Monday. All that remains is a new a/c cover and a new solar panel. The broke one is cracked across the corners. Not sure of the size in watts and the physical size will be different.

We will be moving to a RV park in Weatherford. We found a "retirement park" for $225 plus electric. We will be on grass and the space is about 50 foot wide x 50 foot long. Beats the regular RV park with the width at 20 feet or awning to RV. Its a small park, maybe 16 spaces. We will set up the outside dish for tv (tree in the way of the king dome) and the internet.

This location is close to Wal-mart, gas, Ford house but not Camping World. Its probably a good 25 miles. When I go there I will get propane that day. We are down to a quarter tank or 5 gallons. Last time we got propane was in Moab, UT.

You guys have fun out there. We are settling down for the summer here. Our long range plans include work and money and a Texas summer.
