We left San Antonio about 11 am and took the scenic route north through Bourne and Fredericksburg. After spending the past few days in 80 degree weather I'm looking forward to Spring in the Ozarks. It was a rough and stressful drive north across the rolling hills of texas. Nicely, many of the Texas stae highways have roadside picnic areas and I took advantage of a few to calm my nerves. Driving the Texas back country would have been a lot more enjoyable in a car but in the RV the roads were just narrow enough to test your skills and didn't leave room to take in the views especially when there was oncomming trafic.
We stopped for gas and groceries in Meridian, TX and continued north to Kopperl, TX pulling in for the evening at Kimball Bend Park. It's a Corps of Engineers Campground on the Brazos River southwest of Ft. Worth, TX. We arrived at about 4:30, got a pull-thru site with a nice covered picnic table, water and electrical hookups. After getting the RV opened up, Toto and Bilbo took a walk with me across the campground and down to the river.
We'll be here overnight and split up the last 500 miles home with our next stop somewhere in between. We've been reviewing possible options for tomorrow nights stay but haven't found a winner just yet. I'm wishing for something more forested or maybe mountains with a view. It's all up in the air at the moment but we'll get something figured out.
Come back tomorrow and find out. Cheers!
