We Made It To Texas

From Hot Springs Arkansas (which is nothing to write home about) to Louisiana where we spent our first night in our suite on wheels. The weather has been chilly so much of our time has been spent in this very small, not made for four (three of us and a dog) camper. David has decided that this will be the last trip with this particular unit. We spend the night in a very nice state park (and have decided that state parks are the best), built a fire, made supper and into the camper we went to the small heater. We have been in bed by 8:30pm (nothing to do in this chilly weather) and up for the day at 6am.

From Louisiana we took back roads to our first Texas stopped. We learned a few things along the way. 1- There is absolutely no reason to take back roads in Texas as there is nothing at all to see...take the freeway and get to where you are going. There is also not a thing worth taking pictures of along the way! 2-We have found a new favorite inexpensive place to eat...The Waffle House. A bit of a greasy spoon but the food is great! 3- As stated above, state parks are our favorite places to camp.

From Louisiana to Texas. Our first state park in Texas was nice as well, but again chilly. Our second was our favorite as there was lots of wildlife to see. We looked for alligators but didn't spy a one. Finally a little something to take pictures of-
David, Peeko and I walking along the water's edge. All of a sudden Peeko lunges at his leash and I hear a hiss....I told David "Get him get him". David thought it was an alligator but Peeko had scouted out a coon who was none to happy to have been rousted!
The trees are very unique.The deer. They walk right into your campsite as I am sure they have been feed very well by campers despite the warnings to 'Not feed the wildlife'.
Here Loi is looking at a deer who is looking at her wondering what in the heck she is.
Peeko wondered what these four legged things were as well. He looked but did not bark!
All three of us decided that this is a place we would love to spend more time at if the weather were warmer.

And then off to Ryan and Jens who were surprised that we drove right to their place thanks to Trips and Streets (and Len and Kel for the wonderful gift).Ry and Jen were also kind enough to let us 'camp' in their backyard. A few pictures to share-
Little Abigail happily eatingPeeko is very happy to have two new friends to frolic with, Jr and Molly.
We will spend a couple of days here and then off to San Antonio. Stay tuned....
