2021 Trip To Texas

[BigAl52]

Prices at Truck Stops are always higher. I fuel right next to a truck stop in Junction,TX on the way down. I unhooked at the RV park and went to get fuel. As I was fueling at a smaller station I happen to look at the fuel price next door at the truck stop. .50 a gallon higher.

10-4 on fuel prices at interstate truck stops .... our diesel discount program has really helped narrow that gap .... we usually plan our travel days to include one stop for fuel and necessities .... being close to an interstate saves us time and money .... we saved over $100 on the way from home to Texas and hope to repeat that process on our way back

we are looking forward to a good day, one that will be a throwback to pre-Covid times .. .. today we have two other couples coming over for beach burgers ... they are folks who helped us during the recent subfreezing days .... we plan to do this two more times (with other folks) before we are due to leave here on Monday .... wish we could have them all over at one time but our Traveler grill/smoker simply isn't large enough ....

yesterday's cookout really went well .... we've made some new friends who we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with .... another couple is due to come over today .... wish we could have had them all at the same time but our grill simply isn't large enough .... there is a chance for scattered showers, hopefully we will luck out

in spite of a cold drizzle, our second cookout also went well .... we put our our camper's awning and enjoyed sitting around eating and chatting .... had to put the awning up wet so putting it out so it can dry will be a priority tomorrow .... our next and last scheduled cookout with folks who really helped us during the recent subfreezing temp is scheduled for Saturday afternoon .... we've been trying to schedule a tour of Bond Arms for late next week when we are in Granbury .... I'm beginning to believe that they pay lip service to offering tours but don't really have any serious desire to do so

we are looking forward to a good day .... the owner/mechanic of the local garage who has been great in dealing with a couple of issues with our truck is bringing his wife over after they close their garage for burgers .... they are a very nice couple who we have enjoyed getting to know .... I just went out and checked the truck .... sure hope I don't jinx it but I'm happy to report it appears to be doing fine so today's BBQ will be something of a celebration ....

another packing up day is at hand .... thankfully the weather forecast looks good .... once we get out and at it, it usually us an hour or less to take care of all but the last minute unhooking of the utilities

[JEBar]

another travel morning has dawned .... while the distance to be traveled is very short, moving from one campground to another requires the same time and effort in breaking camp and then setting up at a different location ... unfortunately, the forecast has changed and if it holds true, we are going to get wet in the process .... breaking camp requires the same amount of time and effort but setting up can be done in stages .... if the forecast holds, there should be a break in the thunderstorms that will allow us to complete our setup this afternoon

[JEBar]

well, after taking 20 minutes to cover 9.9 miles, we are once again setup at Majestic Pines .... we were fortunate that no rain fell while we were breaking camp at Conroe, driving to Majestic Pines and setting up .... the temp has fallen steadily all day and from looking at the weather radar, rain is not far away ....

We broke camp this am about 11 moved about 300 yards took 2 minutes to do that and we are now set up again. Same location just another sight. raining here and wind blowing has been all morning. But its ok it isnt snowing.
