Lewisville, TX

1 Feb 10--Left Gladewater Saturday morning and spent the weekend in Lewisville, TX, (just north of Dallas) visiting a couple friends. I took a couple pictures on the road hoping to show you how hairy it seems when an 18 wheeler is passing right next to you in the RV...this guy seems to be right in Cathy's pocket!



And I took these pictures as we drove thru Dallas to show Ed and Eleanor what it looks like to drive thru a big city like Dallas...and this is not rush hour, mind you. Every time we go under these bridges I feel like they are going to shear off the top of the RV.



This is the sign to the campgrounds we stayed at...only a few miles from our friends Lynne and Breena.



This is Breena (left) and Lynne (right). We have known Lynne for what seems like forever. We were all stationed together at Lackland and were TIs at the same time. They are also full-time RVers, and have been for several years. Breena is a school teacher and sports coach, while Lynne is currently working at DFW airport, but will soon be managing an RV park of her own that a friend is building and is set to open in October. Right now they live in their RV on Army Corps of Engineer grounds right on a lake surrounded by several friends who also live full-time in their RVs. I foolishly didn't take my camera when we went to their house...should have taken pictures!



And this is a Mastiff we saw someone walking in our RV park...can you imagine living with this beast anywhere, never mind in an RV???



This is our car this morning...can you see all the frost covering it? What is with this weather?



Left Lewisville this morning, heading to the San Antonio area for probably at least a month. We are going to start in New Braunfels, just north of San Antonio, because we have to take our RV in to Camping World on Wednesday for a leak test. We weren't able to get an earlier appointment, and just our luck, there is a 50% chance of rain tomorrow and 80% on Wednesday!!!

I'll keep you posted!
