Awake: 6:46am Temp 59 sleep 6+29 cloudy, then heavy rain. Overnight @ Weimar, Texas.
I call the Stephen Austin State Park Headquarters & extend our reservations for (5) days in lieu of (2). I think the heavy rain yesterday helped us in getting the extra days I just signed up for. When I called on Monday, they were booked solid for the week.
K & I planned to leave around noon time today for the State Park but with dark clouds threatening, I let Gary know that we’ll be leaving soon. He had made too many blueberry pancakes & offered the extra to us along with the blueberry syrup…..which we put on hold for our breakfast until we reach the next campground.
K & I leave the Motorcoach RV Park in Weimar @ 10:50am with a light drizzle. A rather short drive on I-10 east; we arrive @ the Stephen F Austin State Park in San Felipe, TX @ 11:35am. Just as we finish paying our camping fee @ the park office, the heavy rain caught up with us & continued throughout the afternoon & early evening.
Today’s travel: 37 miles 43 min time 4.9 gal used 7.4 mpg 50.9 avg speed. We stay inside our bus for most of the day leaving our tow car connected.
Gary & Grace arrive some 30 min later & park behind us. We communicate using our “Talk-about” units.
Mid afternoon, I call Anchorage & request to have our mail sent to this campground.
Late afternoon, G & G invite us over to their coach for wine time & dinner @ 6:20. Kathy makes Italian vegetable stoup (not a typo, but a cross between stew and soup; the word, compliments of Rachel Ray) with whole wheat bread & a large salad made by Grace; another delicious meal with lots to talk about during & after our dinner.
Late movie: “Class Action” with Gene Hackman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Colin Friels, etc. Crusading lawyer takes on a class-action suit against a negligent auto company…while his feisty daughter represents the other side. 1991. This movie is awesome for the legal beagle buffs & even if you’re not!
