Awake: 6:45am Temp 41 sleep 6+30 sunny overnight @ Von Ormy, TX.
Mid morning, I climb up on the roof, clean off the tree debris & dust from the slide tops before retracting them. G & G leave the campground in their motorhome around 10:30am. They want to visit the Mission Concepcion before rendezvousing with us @ our next campground.
We leave the Hidden Valley RV Park in Von Ormy @ 11:20am. Drive 18 miles to the Costco Store parking lot; use (6) spaces for our motorhome & tow car + a little space for maneuvering…..then shop for groceries & things that Costco has like no other. It was the 1st time for us: bringing our home to Costco to stock up with supplies. Then we continue our travels another 62 miles to our destination arriving @ the Fredericksburg RV Park @ 2:57pm. While in the office signing up, Grace comes in to register. After touring the mission, they had taken a different route altogether.
Today’s travel: 80.4 miles 1+30 driving time 11.5 gal used 7.0 mpg 51.8 avg speed.
During wine time outside on the picnic table, we catch up on today’s travel adventure. Cooler air has been moving in so dinner is served in our coach @ 6:15pm. Grace’s Sheppard Pie with corn muffins & a mixed salad by Kathy. After the dishes are stacked in the dish washer, we watch a short slide show on the plasma TV of the Mission Concepcion in San Antonio that G & G visited. Gary reports his sleep last night was sup-standard so they return to their motorhome early.
K & I watch a satellite movie: “Awakenings” with Robert De Niro, Robert Williams, Julie Kavner, Ruth Nelson John Heard, etc. A true life story of a painfully shy research doctor who takes a job @ a Bronx hospital’s chronic care ward in 1969 & discovers that his comatose patients still have life inside them; the challenge just begins when one patient awakens from a 30 yr coma to deal with life as an adult for the 1st time. 1990 This story is amazing! Don’t miss it.
