“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – Miriam Beard

After a few days in a hotel while Boo (our camper) was getting serviced at the dealership, we had a long list of minor things that needed to be fixed. We spent the weekend below Austin in Buda TX. The trailer dealership is next to Cabela’s so visits can be expensive but it is a place to pass the time…

We picked up the unit on Monday afternoon and headed south. We made a quick overnight at a park on I35 and then on west to Davis Mountain State Park. We made another overnight stay in Sonora Caverns RV park where the deer were so prolific that you sometimes would have to wait for them to move out of the road when you passed. We were the only trailer in the park so we enjoyed the quiet. We got started the next morning and headed for the Davis Mountains.

JoAnn tried her hand at towing the rig after getting her Class A learner’s permit. She did great! We make a stop in Fort Stockton for fuel and groceries before making the final push into Fort Davis and Davis Mountains State Park where we plan to stay for a week. We got setup in a temporary spot for a few days before we moved to a full hookup site. We did meet one of our neighbors who was from Germany over for six weeks. He had picked up a Class C motor coach and he was traveling solo across the western US planning to head to the west coast. He seems a bit to himself and not wanting to interact until after JoAnn approached him and realized he wasn’t from here, so she tried to find common ground which was easy, we have both been to Europe with our jobs. Turns out he is from a small town near Hanover. His English wasn’t as good as he would like it to be so that is why he kept to himself. After JoAnn opened the door he was very friendly.
