And we landed at Bay Landing RV Park in Bridgeport.  It is a Thousand Trails Park and we were able to get in with our RPI membership.  What is interesting about many of these parks is that you go find a site and then call the office to tell them where you are.  The park has a combination of water and electric or full hookups.  We were lucky to be at the right place at the right time for the full hookup site.  A young couple was leaving and we pulled in to the site – YEA!

We are finally out of the cold weather.  Today’s high was near 80!

Once we set up we took a ride to check out the town and coming back we were greeted with this family!

This morning we packed up and were on our way heading west. 

We could see these huge flags from a long distance.  They were on the hill by the American Patriot Ranch.  We found out it was a hunting ranch and as we passed we saw some interesting animals.

These windmills were everywhere.  In our travels today, they went for over 100 miles.  Must be windy here.

If you look at the picture above, you can see this longhorn.  He is on the right hand side of the road at the top of the hill.

He is HUGE!

We landed at Haskell City Park.  We have full hookups for free – first night.  It is a nice little city park with over 30 sites.  After setting up, we decided to check out the town.  It is small and nothing was open – sad…  Oh well.
