November 14-15, 2015 Visiting Friends

November 14th, we left our little spot in the woods and away we went south over Malden Lake (notice the shadow of our RV on the water) :

Fall has not reached its peak here:

Through the hills:

And thru small towns – I just love the back roads and these little towns:

Almost every town we went thru had a very nice court house:

Old movie theater – still in use:

Over the Lavon Lake Bridge:

Water seems a little low:

After a quick stop at Wal Mart, we traveled to Shady Creek RV Park in Aubrey, Texas where we will be for two nights.

Late afternoon, we met up with our friends Ann and Norylnn for supper and spent the evening getting caught up with each other.  The last time we saw each other was in Colorado Springs last June (2014) so it was really good to see them again.

Stats for today:

Miles Traveled: 160 Miles

Texas: SR-8; SR-77; US-67; I-30; SR-302; US-380; FM-1385

Sunday, 15th, Ann and I spent the day visiting the local flea market, downtown McKinney (a very growing community) and at her new home getting caught up with each other – it is always good to see old friends.  Later we all met up at our place for pizza and said our goodbyes for now. 

Thank you Ann and Norylnn for the great time and hopefully we will see you on the return trip –

Tomorrow we continue our trip west so stay tuned and enjoy today.

 

November 12-13, 2015 Travel to Texas

November 12th

Very early this morning, my Dusty got sick and awake I was.  So after cleaning up, I decided to stay up and watch the sun rise over the Mississippi:

We packed up and continued our journey west – saying goodbye to the Mississippi and see you next year:

We passed farms and churches:

And trees and trucks:

Over many waterways and rivers – that are very full:

More trees and trucks:

Into Texas:

Where we are staying at Malden Lake Campground near Maud – an Army Corp Park – very nice:

After setting up we took a walk around the park:

Many vultures around – it was very interesting to watch them:

Apparently they hang around near the boat dock – fish cleaning area – lots to eat – !

We did a few things around the motorhome and then relaxed for the rest of the evening.

Stats for today:

Miles Traveled: 300 Miles

Arkansas: Loop Road; US-70; SR-118; I-40; I-440; I-30

Texas: I-30; US-59; US-67; SR-8

November 13th

We woke to a very beautiful morning and made our way to the local laundry to do a few loads (cleaning yesterday’s mess) – our Dusty is much better today – YEA!

We enjoyed the rest of the day at our campfire in the woods:

Tomorrow we continue our journey so stay tuned and enjoy today.
