We had the most wonderful time with all our friends at Hanna Park. It was decided to schedule the 4th Annual Hanna Park Get Together for the second week in March, 2009.
After saying last minute goodbye's, we headed out at 8:30am on Sunday morning. On our way to California. The plan was to stop around Pensacola for the night but I wasn't tired so we just kept going. We take a rest break about every two hours. The next plan was to spend the night at the Louisiana Welcome Center but is was closed for renovation. We finally found a Wal-Mart in Slidell, LA and spent the night in their parking lot. Well lighted, other RV's were there plus Gopher is a very good watch dog. She really goes crazy if someone approaches the camper. We feel very comfortable sleeping in rest areas & such with her around.
On Monday we drove from Slidell, LA to our first planned stop at White Memorial Park near Anahuac, TX about an hour east of Houston. What a disappointment. The "campground" was just a field off ae dirt road. We parked for a while and had lunch. After that we headed to our alternate stop; the Steven F. Austin State Park, west of Houston. The Houston traffic wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Heavy but not to the point where it was disturbing. The Park is very nice. It was part of the original Steven F. Austin homestead. Austin is considered as the founder of Texas. The park is about 1/2 full. We've been on the road since early Sunday morning. We're both tired. It felt very good to not be driving. Starting tomorrow, we slow the pace down. Four hour drive per day at the max.
Got an e-mail from Jennifer today. She & Karen decided they would keep caring for Balou & Bagera. Carol was very, very happy with the news. Balou & Bagera are two good dogs; I'll miss them but it's probably best.
It's 9:30. Bed time.
