We went through Texas early November 2017.
We took a little picnic break once we were in Texas for lunch. Still, super windy but it was a nice clear day. We had a nice break including a quick geocache at this very busy rest stop along the highway.
Nice wood carving at the entrance to our Thousand Trails campground. We stayed at the Lake Texoma Thousand Trails. It is a huge park, but you need to be careful about the electrical outlets. A lot of them were burned out. It took us quite some time to find a site to set up at. But I think we found a good one. We enjoyed our stay even added a few nights. We had lots of phone issues and Jim and I ended up need to just get new ones. So our pictures and videos do decrease a bit as we are learning the ropes of the new phones. They do have wonderful cameras and video recorders now we just have to learn to use them. So no Texas video will be coming.
We were not pleased to see the pool was closed. It wasn’t too warm but with a heated pool, swimming would have been nice. They have 2 but for some reason had closed the only one Eli would have been able to swim in. Not very nice to swim without her. So we wait to swim.
Very roomy site, we had a picnic table but no fire ring or grill. The campground overall was very nice looking with roomy sites. We would like to return more in season as it seemed there would be so much to do. They also have a cafe they run but mostly during the in season too.
I found these liquid chaulks on Amazon. They were lots of fun decorating the fridge. This door is unfortunately not magnetic. I am still trying to find a solution for that. The doors are a bear to take off, as that was our first thought to replace the panels but it is not so easy. The door is also textured. So these chaulks don’t come off very easy either. They do come off, but it takes a bit of elbow grease and some cleaner to get them off. However, most of it is still there today ( Jan 2018) as we just haven’t figured out what we want to draw instead.
Finally took some time to update our map with the states we have stayed in on this trip. We had more filled in before this trip but thought it would be fun to just log this trip. Also got a little sticker inside too.
We made a stop at Buc-ees very cute little store interesting concept. Very nice bathrooms. So many food and drink options. But we ended up deciding to eat somewhere else. The convenience price just wasn’t worth it for us. But we did get patches for our blankets.
