And He's Off

I left about 9am, after saying good bye and paying my electric bill, headed to Harlingin and US77 north. With all the weather reports it turned out it all went east and north. No bad weather to speak of. I stopped at the rest stop around Waverly and talked to my daughter and got the latest report before I went the final 50 miles to SA.

I arrived at the Stone Creek RV park about 3pm and got a short pull thru. I say short as I just barely fit with the car attached. I guess I'm 50 feet long and thats the length of the pull thru. I'm also spoiled to concrete and gravel and not this wet dirt. Makes for a messy carpet. YUCK!

I will be here till Monday morning and then head it home. More later.

Its Friday And What To Do

I'm thinking of going tomorrow but..... The weather here will be good but strong south winds, 20-25 range here in Mercedes. Where I'm going, just north of San Antonio, will have 70% chance of rain. I can stop at the rest area south of San Antonio and wait out the rain and spend the night, a guarded rest area. Or if the rain is a hit and miss make it into the rv park in Schertz. Its about 263 miles or 5 hours drive. I want to do a weekend trip to see my daughter and grandkids. Then leave on Monday morning for the 268 miles to the COE at Benbrook Lake.

OR put the trip off a week and try again that weekend. I have till the 1st of March till I must leave. I'm paid till then. The passing fronts cause us to have strong winds here. Yesterday the winds were 25-30 with 40 gusts from the south. All due to the low sitting in West Texas. That is still better than the cold coming to the DFW area. I could get in more golf here by staying but I have to pay. My membership was up on the 12th. It costs $18 for 9 and $22 for 18. A little cheaper than home courses. I'm back to 2x a week golf now vs the 4-6 days I was.

I guess we will all know when I make my next post. That will be tomorrow at the wifi thats available at the rest stop or at daughters, Schertz, or from here in Mercedes. Stay tuned and lets see what the weather forecast is tomorrow and make a final decision.

Mileage I got from the map is:
90 to Rivera
46 to Robstown, Wal-Mart stop if necessary
57 to the rest stop on I37
88 to Schertz

Each of these is a stop if its raining.

RV odometer reading: 82028. 545 miles form the rv park in Weatherford to the rv park in Mercedes with a gas stop. 531 to the COE park at Benbrook Lake.
