No pictures for this post -- internet very slow... will post pictures when we move to a new location.
On Thursday, we left National Indoor RV Center about 8:30am after dumping our waste tanks and putting air in one tire that was a little low... We did not have definite plans about where we were going, but had a rough idea that, if the travel seemed to be going well, we might stop at Monahans Sandhills State Park for a couple of nights. It is a little ways southwest of Midland (further along on our journey), and I (Patti) had visited there some years ago when we did our "Epic Journey around Texas" with Dwayne's and my Dads and Peggy back in 1992.
Our travel went well and we checked the state park website to find that there was one site left that could accommodate a 40' rig, so I booked it. We headed to Monahans, arriving about 4:30pm. We had quite a bit of trouble getting into the site as the sites are small and it is treacherous if you get off the asphalt surface as the sand is very soft. Thankfully, we kept the drive wheels on the pavement and were able to get Gracie into the site. We're hoping to be able to leave the site on Saturday with no additional challenges.
It is beautiful here and quiet, though you can hear the traffic on I-20, particularly if you go up on the dunes. We're happy to be away from the service center where the engine noise and beeping of moving RVs was nearly constant during the day and we were parked within arms length of other RVs every night.
More later (maybe Saturday?) when we get better internet service!
