Today we got up and started getting ready to go. It took us a while, since we didn't do anything to get ready last night after our party.
We were ready to go about 11:30, and I brought sandwiches along (leftovers from the party) to eat. We didn't get too far down the road when we decided to stop at Bucee's one last time before we left town. We ate our lunch in the parking lot, thrn I went in for a quick restroom break and of course some shopping. ;)
We got back on the road and made good time, getting to Wild Country RV Resort about 3pm. Tony had called ahead so the owner had blocked off a spot for us, the spot we liked in a previous visit.
We got set up fairly easily, and while completing some final tasks, the owner came by to settle up with us.
Our site viewed from higher ground.
The lighted, two-sided sign at the edge of the park, viewable from Spur 490.
After dinner we returned to the park. Man, it's very dark here! We did see a rabbit run away as we pulled around to our site. Our first "wild" life!
The park is on a hill overlooking I-20, and you can see the lights of Eastland behind our rig. Pretty!
Tony went to bed about 9:30pm, and around 10pm I was startled by what seemed like very close fireworks! Two very loud bangs, with the sound of crackling afterwards. It woke Tony too, so we went outside to see/hear where it was coming from. We didn't see or hear any more. Ok! Well, I guess they were celebrating "2 more in the park" ?!!
Of course, this made it harder for me to go to sleep! Haha! Always a challenge the first night in a new place, anyway.
Regardless, I think we are really going to like it here, it seems pretty quiet and I love the more natural surroundings.
