Started Out

We left Donna on Sunday after much fan-fare from our good neighbours.  It was difficult to leave our friends, but wanted to head home.

We had just passed Victoria, Tx and saw a river below the highway.  There was room to turn the motorhome around, so I pulled into there and that is where we spent the night. 

By the River
We could hear the highway traffic, but it slowed down over night and we slept well.

This wasn't a camping spot per se.  People came down to fish, but they left after a short while.  There were no signs saying we could not overnight camp.  We left early in the morning.

We took some secondary highways on our way to Gun Barrel City, Tx.  There was quite a bit of road construction and it was a bumpy ride.  I was glad to get back on the freeway, which was smooth and fast.  The problem with the freeway is that you don't see much.  The towns are set back.

We arrived at Jame's and Renee's about 7 pm.  We would have arrived sooner, but we got lost in Gun Barrel City itself as we had missed our turn.  They have a beautiful property on the lake.

The leaves are turning green and the lake is smooth.  This is a view from their back deck.

We have been watching the weather to ascertain when we should be heading out.  Unfortunately, a cold front has moved into Oklahoma, Kansas and points north.  It looks like we will sit still for a few days and then attempt to progress towards home.

One can only hope that winter will not last forever!
