A Big Country at home in the Big Country!

Sunday, January 31, 2016

Today we got up and got moving a little slow. But not too slow. Tony cooked breakfast on the new induction cooktop, and we enjoyed the view out the new bigger windows. 

We then worked to get everything ready for travel, which wasn't too hard since we hadn't really spread out too much, and we were already hitched. 

We ate a quick lunch about 11:30, and pulled out just about noon (check-out). We immediately stopped at Bucee's for fuel, then headed on our way home!

We had a traffic slowdown in Cedar Hill, but otherwise things were going well. The new rig tows much smoother than the ElkRidge did. 

We stopped at a rest stop outside of Santo, and I offered to drive. I'm going to try to learn this from the beginning so we can share some of the long hauls in the future! 

Getting ready to tow!

I was able to tow all the way to our exit for the park, then switched back to Tony driving, to pull into the park and to our site.

Only hard part was going up Ranger Hill, where I got behind a slow semi and couldn't pass. It was a little scary for me, not knowing if people behind me would slow down and avoid me. I put the hazard blinkers on. They did, and we made it just fine.

This part of Texas is called the Big Country region, so it's only fitting we now live in a Big Country! Once at the park, we got into our site and positioned just fine. We unhitched and pushed the Level-Up system's auto-level button, and watched her do her thing! Voila! Level in about 2 minutes!

We then got her all hooked up to power, water and sewer. Yay! I'm going to love this!






We got more things settled in place, now that we know we aren't moving for a bit. Tony get the satellite hooked up and working with the new tv, and we enjoyed the evening in our reclining loveseat. 

The cats are adapting quickly to the new place as well,  with lots more windows to see out, and couch-backs to sleep on!

Can't wait to start enjoying this new home.
