Yea, Yea I'm Free

This is the first day of our vacation. It took awhile this morning to finish all of our chores deposits, prescriptions, and load the truck but we did it. A good thing that we didn't plan for a long travel day because we didn't pulll the trailer onto the road until 11:00 in the morning.

Just a shor hop from San Antonio to Boerne, so we pulled into our slot at Top of the Hill about 12:30. It's the 4th so it's got to be hot. The weather hit 98 today, plus the humidity, and you've got the main reason we're going to the mountains. ToH RV park is really a nice place, it can't do anything about the weather. As the name implies, it is on top of a hill. I took a few pictures of the rigs and the view. You can view them at our spiffy website http://www.airstream1529.com

Everyone of the drivers has experience in towing in the mountains. Ron & I are towing new and heavier rigs, so the experience will be a bit different for us. Jim still has his 31' Airstream towing it with his beautiful Excursion. I wish I had a rich relative that would give me one of those. It is my dream tow vehicle, and I'll probably never have one. But my F250 does a great job, and will do what I want when I want. So, it's a great tow vehicle to have around.

We leave tomorrow for FT Stockton, TX. It's the pits, but you gotta go through there to get outta Texas. It is in the middle of the West Texas desert, and it will break 100 there by the time we arrive. It's just shy of 400 miles so it is a full day tow. I'll be glad when it's over.

It's fun traveling with others. This evening we had supper together. There was home cooked brisket, potato salad, bread, cole slaw, rib bits, and a fruit dessert. You wind up eating better than you would by yourselves, because everyone chips in.

That's it.
