At the Junction

Just after first light the departure process was started.  The sky was clear and temps and wind were tolerable. The pit crew, now experts at hooking up the Toad, completed all checks and were ready to get back on the I-10 track. Posted speed signs said 80mph, but Kevin chose a more sane 65mph setting for the cruise control. Theresa did the last 2 posts for the blog and helped with navigation as well as calling the RV park to reserve a spot. There were no stops not even a bio break until the exit for Junction, TX was made! This was mid-way thru TX as well as marked halfway to the central, FL target.

The Junction North Llano River RV park was on the banks of a small river and had nice wide pull thru sites furnished with a nice patio, chairs, picnic table, firepit and a charcoal grill. Since there was no freeze threat for the night and all repositories on the RV were mostly full all systems were hooked up! There was also a good wifi connection as well as laundry facilities, yeah!

Being out a cream for Theresa's morning coffee gave a reason to seek out a nearby grocery or convenience store. The camp host pointed the duo to a few places up the hill past a local BBQ place. Kevin and Theresa were drawn in by the smells of the roasting beast cooking just outside the restaurant. They did not sell cream nor milk but they did sell smoked Brisket by the pound. The carver even sliced off a few samples to confirm the tenderness and flavor of the meat. The purchased 1lb of cow was wrapped up an bagged along with some sauce. Since a steak dinner was already in the plans for tonight this score will be for a future lunch or dinner! The walk up the hill continued to a Stop n Go that at least had some whole milk that would be suitable to lighten up tomorrow's java.

Laundry was completed as well as may pictures uploaded using the camps facilities.

Kevin was again successful at getting the satellite TV working, so the weather update could be analyzed and mapped to the predicted route. Another front was moving in latter the next day, so an early exit was planned with a destination of just East of Houston in hopes the route will go south of any rain or cold temps.
