The Q has landed at Tip O Texas

We sure hated to leave Johnson Creek RV Park, but we’re also excited about getting to our winter destination.

A nice early morning shadow picture while we were still in the hill country.100_4292

A mansion on the hill came to my mind.100_4293

As we left the hill country behind, we suddenly found ourselves on very flat land in a cabbage patch!  Our first veggie farm citing.  100_4297

The much of the scenery along the way consisted of mesquite trees. 100_4300

Gray skies and 20-40 m.p.h. winds.  For about a hundred miles, they were cross winds.100_4301

The soil is getting sandier and sandier.  (Is that a word?)100_4303

Green again.100_4304

Highway 281 is a nice road.100_4305

About thirty minutes from our destination, we begin to see palm trees.100_4306

We exited onto the street that was supposed to go to our park, but the street was totally blocked due to work being done.  So… we turned left and drove until we could turn right again and then right onto the street our park is on.  Would you believe it?  Blocked from this side, too!  Our GPS didn’t have a clue and neither did we.  A nice man stopped and gave us directions back around and down a couple more blocks and then we drove through a school zone, across the street that is blocked on both ends, and into Tip ‘O Texas RV Resort.100_4308

Linda, in the office was waiting for us and apologized that they had not called us about the detour, but they didn’t have our phone number for some reason.  She was so nice.  And then Clarence came by as we were setting up.  I think he had checked three times already to see if we were here yet.  What a dear man, helping me with blocks to put under the steps that were here so they would be high enough to reach our door. Then two other ladies came by to welcome us to the park.  Once again, sweet and friendly folks so far.  We expect to meet more wonderful folks tomorrow.

Use us, Lord.
