as noted above in comments taken from an earlier post, Thousand Trails Colorado River Campground has a serious problem with its electrical power .... we are able to get by with 30 amp service .... that said, if they don't restore their 50 amp service, there is no way we would come back here next winter for a 3 week stayJEBar wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 11:06 pmwhen we arrived here yesterday (2-25-20) we learned that the 50 amp service on all red sites in sections C&D are out of service .... first thing this morning we were advised that site C9 (a 30 amp, full hookup site shown in pictures 3&4) was available so we packed up and moved to a site that can be seen looking over the hood of our truck in the second picture .... the last picture blow shows current site's power pedestal .... the 50 amp receptacle has been covered ....
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: 2020 Trip to Texas
packing up day in preparation for a return to Thousand Trails Lake Conroe Campground near Willis, TX .... I seldom look forward to leaving one of our favorite campgrounds .... the elimination of all but a very few 50 amp, full hookup sites for transient campers has soured our feelings for Thousand Trails Colorado River Campground .... the good news is, the chance of rain / thunderstorms is low for today and tomorrow

Re: 2020 Trip to Texas
talk about a fogging travel morning (1st picture) .. .. the good news is, with a short day's drive we were able to delay leaving until the fog cleared .... our drive proved to be wonderfully uneventful .. .. and we are now back at Thousand Trails Lake Conroe Campground .... we are delighted to be setup on a very comfortable, 50 amp, full hookup site (2nd picture) .... we are slated to be here for our final 3 weeks in Texas this winter

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: 2020 Trip to Texas
our first full day back at Lake Conroe has been one with heavy rain and strong wind .... the pictures below pretty well tell the story .... the Gazebo shown is on the site next to us .... as a side note, the wind blew our sewer hose off of its Sidewinder RV Sewer Hose Support .... that's a first .... the good news is, a string of days with a low probability of rain starts tomorrow

Re: 2020 Trip to Texas
beautiful day .... I spent most of the morning taking care of some minor gremlins .... the quick disconnects on 3 sections of non drinking water hoses were leaking .... one thumb lock on an exterior compartment door had to be completely reworked .... taking care of them didn't prove to be difficult but were time consuming .... bottom line, all's well

When is it time to go shooting again. Surely you and Jake have another shoot coming up.
