Back on I-10 by 9:30 and the
temperature was already 80 degrees.
After a couple of hours we turned onto the San Marcos Hwy to head the
Austin area. A message came in from Emma
who just posted a 17.1 second clean barrel race – nice job, Emma.
The scenery included fields
of corn, rolled bales of hay, ranches and open range as far as we could
see. The gentle rolling hills surprised
us and added to the beauty of this area.
We passed through a couple of small towns which added to the character
of today’s travels.
By 12:30 we were snuggled
into our space at Cottonwood Creek Campground near Dripping Springs, TX. The purpose of routing through Austin was to
see our nephew, Gabriel, so we took off in the jeep and met him in Lakeview for
a visit and shared a meal. It was so
good to see him looking well and happy.
When we returned to the
campground we realized our picnic table was reserved by a local.
A late afternoon walk around the park, allow
us to observe several deer on the edges of campsites.
Some of these campers are on monthly status
and settled in for the season – the chandelier gave them away.
It also appeared that the owner of the park
had a good sense of humor.
Since we had a strong wifi
connection I was able to post to our blog while Ron work on some plan review
work.
