Texas and New Digs

    Well, we rolled into Texas in front of snow, wind and rain.  After leaving Santa Fe, we traveled to Roswell, NM for a few days.  We were glad to finally warm up after the snow and sleet.  Our drive was interrupted by a pretty strong crosswind but we found a nice town and got behind a building for about an hour.  After leaving Roswell, we drove into Ft. Stockton and stayed at a really nice campground.  We had planned to get up early and head out on the highway, but found this instead.
    

5 in gash on the inside of the tire.  Whew!





    After calling Good Sam Roadside and paying for a new tire, we were on our way. 

    Found a beautiful park in South Llano. 







    We absolutely fell in love with this little park.  Right on a little river that had about 8 or more deer down there every night. 

    We left here and drove into Kerrville and a pretty upscale kind of place.



 

Terry, Rocky, you guys would have drooled over this smoker.  Texas style!!!



     Stayed here for a couple of days.  Long enough to get a new AC Compressor put on the truck.  (If you know Texas, you don't drive without AC)  Rolled into Conroe, Texas and three weeks of solid non stop rain.  Swollen rivers, creeks, bayous, and back yards.  Folks are still drying out.  Now with the heat and humidity, its pretty rough. 

    While in the Houston area, I started looking at Class A Motorhomes.  Traveled to several places, some two ad three times.  After leaving Houston, we traveled to a dealership just south of Dallas and found "Princess Grace of Monaco."  A 2008 Monaco Camelot.

Needless to say, we are jazzed.

    Now we have a Motorhome and a truck.  Well, that wont work.  Hence, meet "Frog."  A 2015 Ford Focus Hatchback that will tow.

 

    We're currently in Keene, TX getting a couple of items repaired on the Motorhome and Monday I take the "Frog" down to get it set up for towing.  Above all else, we're still having fun.  Will probably head back to Modesto end of September, after Colorado, Utah, and Oregon.
