We know the way! Quit that!

Tuesday, June 7th, 2016


Today, we got up and got going fairly quickly, took Eileen's picture and pulled out of the park about 9:15am. We headed south on I-35, but decided to follow the GPS to exit and head "cross country" back to home.

Ready to roll!


Once across into Texas, in Gainesville, we took Hwy 51 southwest to Decatur. From there, the GPS was trying to take us further south, which did not make sense to us, so we took 380 West to Graham, then 67 South to Breckenridge, and 183 South to Cisco. All the while, the GPS was suggesting other routes, I guess trying to get us to I-20, which was probably faster. However, many of the county roads it was suggesting did not look as good as the route we were on, which had good shoulders. We muted it, since we knew the way, but I know we'll be strongly considering a different RV GPS for our next big trip.

We stopped at a little roadside picnic area, just outside of Bryson, for a rest stop. We were already hungry even though it was 11:15AM, so we decided to go ahead and make sandwiches for lunch there. It was a peaceful little stop.

On the road again, we made good time. As we got into Eastland County, we saw more evidence of last week's high water, still standing or flowing fast in creeks in many places. Breckenridge had flooding in town last week, and we saw many businesses that looked like they were in the clean-up process.

We had no trouble getting into our pull-through site again at the home park, and set up quickly. It was hot and humid!

"Home" again!


We called the owner of our park along the way, and verified that the park is not on Cisco water supply, so we would not have to be under those strict water restrictions like the residents of Cisco. We will continue to pray for a solution to the water woes for them!

After a little rest, Tony headed to work to check on some things, and I managed to drift off and nap for a bit... then I worked all evening.

We had a good trip, but it's back to work for both of us!

(P.S., I updated the other posts for this trip with the pics! Go back and see them!)
