Santo, Texas

Monday, March 26, 2012 Day 288

R and R day. We liked this RV park so much, we decided to stay here an extra day and do our laundry and just be lazy. We lounged around today, mostly in the shade, read books, talked to people in the park and did a little geocaching. The weather's been beautiful, 80's, sun and blue skies.

The one thing this great campground didn't have was a dump station so Harris being resourceful got a 20 oz styrofoam cup and used that as an adapter to dump at the campsite. This will be remembered for future use. (The campsite drains aren't as wide as the dump station and therefore the hose can't be put down the drain very far)



At one point during the day a caravan of large class A rigs entered and parked one row behind us and down a ways. Then there was a flurry of activity as 4 women stepped down from their rigs and set up camp. We were sure there was a story there and later Harris found out that all four of them are full timers and spend their winters in Mexico and then find places to visit on their way north for the summer. This time they are staying here a few days and making their way to a "singles" jamboree farther south in Texas (where line dancing is on top of their things to do). Too bad we weren't sticking around because we're sure they have a bunch of stories that they could tell.




The fearsome foursome standing in front of their rigs.



We took our bikes and went geocaching. Harris decided to do one that was a couple of miles away in a cemetery. He said it took as long to find the bison tube as it did to ride there and back! Meanwhile Judy tried out the pool (cold) and the hot tub (warm). Harris talked Judy into a milkshake at the ice cream shop in the RV office--they were wonderful!


In the afternoon the neighbors came over to the fence for a friendly visit.



And awhile later, this was what we saw 30 feet from us as we grilled our steak (ironic) for dinner.



Total miles driven today = zero! (even better gas mileage!)
