Post #6: Halfway through Texas

Evening from San Marcos, Texas (between San antonio & Austin).  We left Fort Stockworth at 9AM and 50F this  morning and drove 340 miles in 6 hrs.   Another day of driving and seeing nearly nothing except scrub plants, desert and grasslands. Hardly any cars, people, towns or cattle.  The 600 miles from El Paso to San Antonio are predominately owned by large ranches with some gas/oil, wind turbines and some sheep & cattle.  Tonight we drove into the Pecan Grove camp site on the Guadeloupe river (79F) here in San Marcos.  Advised that we had a back-in camp site!!  Finally after pleading NEWBIE they moved us to a pull through.  Tonight we had dinner with our dear friends Sunny & Bob Sappington who were our neighbors in Houston when Chris, John & Eric were first born.  That was 30 years ago!  Plan to spend tomorrow and Friday with them and doing some touring of the area around Austin to determine its attractiveness for a retirement home - which is one of our goals as we travel around the country in the Airstream.  

Tomorrow a BIG GOAL:  Linking the trailer up to the sewer system!!

Sorry about the lack of pictures.  Unable to upload additional pictures to this blog.  I keep getting error messages when I try each time.  Have a feeling that they allow only so many (2) and then limit due to server space.
