HI
Ater 435 miles we are finally at the COE (Corp of Engineers) park in Denison TX, It was a stressful day driving. We had a very strong, mostly cross, wind today. Plus Texas roads are pretty shitty!!! Linda finally had to take a couple of ginger pills and we had to give Walker some Pepto Bismal.
We went from about 4400 foot to about 1100 foot but it was very gradual. Fuel mileage went from 12.7 to 10.4 with the wind and all of the hills.
We will spend one night here and than check out the other corp parks here…..the water is quite a ways from our site but we do have a good satellite signal which is important to me (Jim).
I had to have a large vodka and two beers to settle down and I wanted to quit about 150 miles ago. We have never driven anywhere where there are so few campgrounds. We did not see one, that is 1, campground on almost 400 miles of the trip…..
We are north of Denison TX on Lake Texoma, which is a very large lake (dam) (reservoir)…..we are only about 60-70 miles north of Dallas, TX. We have done the Kennedy museum several years ago and I will check the internet for other interesting things in the area.
Here are a few pictures of our trip across….mostly boring.
The last picture is leaving Albuquerque with rain in the mountains.
Two of the pictures show the wild flowers on the road.
Mighty long day, my friends. Rest a while now.
ReplyDeleteThat large lake north of Denison is Lake Texoma. It's a reservoir created by a dam on the Red River, which separates Texas from Oklahoma. Lake Texico, if it exists, would be the lake on the border between Texas and New Mexico.
