We
moved again. We are now in another Thousand Trails park, in Lake
Texoma, Texas. This is about 20 miles or so east of the Red River
park we were just in. This is a nice park, based by a lake.
Driving around a little hunting for a site, it looks like it's about
75% full. Most of the sites are full hookup here. The site
we are in, has only water and electric. We only hook up to
electric. We've found in a lot of parks, the the water and
electric sites sometimes are much nicer, and more shaded than the full
hookup sites. Hey, gimme the shade any day. Anyhow, the
site we are in, is a fairly narrow site, and I think we would have a
problem getting the 5th wheel into this one, if we had it. In
fact, several of the sites we've been in on this trip have been like
that. We filled up with gas today at a cost of $2.76 a
gallon. That's a little higher than what we've spent on most of
the trip, but given what's goin on in the middle east, that probably
about as cheap as it's gonna be for a while. So, we are here
until the beginning of the week. We found a "Vixen" motorhome
here today. The one here is one of the later versions, being made
in either 88 or 89. This one was in very nice shape, and we
walked over to it, and talked to the owners for a couple of
hours. Definately worth the time spent. The only thing that
wasn't too great was the size of the bathroom. Ok for Sherry, not
so ok for someone my size. What else is new? Anyhow, that's
about it for tonight. Later. |
Pay attention, the next few pictures are what Grantville is going to look like soon. |
These pics are of a Casino just inside the Oklahoma state line. |
Known as the Winstar, there are several buildings connected. |
And another shot. |
Closer picture. |
And another shot. |
And the final one. |
If you look closely, there are 8 people and a dog here. There was another person inside the motorhome. It's not very large for that number of people. |
The welcome sign on I35 headed from Oklahoma going into Texas. |
Poor picture, but it really was a nice shack. |
Sign inside the Thousand Trails at Lake Texoma. |
Someone has their entire life packed up in this vehicle. At least, it looks like it. |
Definately suffered some hail damage. |
And on the hood. The circular looking things are dents from hail. |
Little bit of damage on the left front. |
The back seat is filled with clothing. |
And the passangers side is filled with clothing. Just enough space for a driver. No stealth sleeping in this one. There's just no place to sleep, other than upright in the drivers seat. |
This guy brought his telescope, and plans on viewing the stars tonight. He's got some serious bucks in a telescope of this size. |
Winnebago's small motorhome named the View. These are supposed to get between 18 and 22 mgp of fuel. It's a diesel, if I remember, made by Mercedes. |
Another view of the Winnebago View. |
Nice little car being towed by the View above. |
