We Arrived

Sunday morning was just like any other morning except for the fact that we had to move across town to Sherri’s next work assignment. We were up about 6:30 and I went down and made coffee and Sherri slid into her recliner and placed her lap top on her lap. She was scanning the East Texas area for a place to stay next week when we would be moving further East. I on the other hand started posting my journal with all that newsy information of the day before.

This is a shot of the site we were in at Hickory Creek COE at Lake Lewisville Texas. Site #89

We computed and then visited a while and then it was time to start getting some breakfast. With that behind us I headed outside to do the preliminary tear down. That did not take long because we had not set up much of a base here. Being that most of the time we were in Jackson Mississippi. I went back inside and helped Sherri with the Pink stuff as we call it. This would be all the stuff that can be done by the ladies…who by the way are better at getting the insides situated for travel. Guys have a tendency to just through things in and that does not always fare well with traveling.

Another view of site #89. Not a bad site…had good shade most of the day.

We pulled out about 1:00 and went down to the dump. I had to flush the tanks several times…being that we did not have sewer for over a week. It had to be 95 and we were setting out in the open. Sherri had to get out of the truck...due to extreme heat. She found a bit of shade under the hitch and stood there while I got things finished up.

Soon we were on the road and glad of it. AC on high and cooling down was a good feeling. The trip to Plantation Place was not that far….but being on the other side of Dallas made it a trip in the traffic. We took Hwy 635 to Interstate 30 and then down Bobtown Rd to Barnes Bridge. The Plantation Place is just what it refers to. The RV Park is located behind a plantation home. Believe me this is not a summer park. You would want to use this one in the winter for access to Dallas. No Pool here and no other amenities to add to their list of draws. We are staying her due to the location only. Sherri only has to drive about 10 minutes to her job.

I have plenty to do this morning…being our first full day here. I better get to cracking. I am keeping Kris a couple of days this week while his family moves to a larger place. Me and him will team up on the cleaning duties around here….right!

Until then…stay safe and enjoy your life….

Somewhere in Time.

Hi Joe & Sherri, Glad you arrived safely at your next destination... What is it the Sherri does at her work to be traveling around so much? That Hickory Creek looked pretty good... Could you get TV & phone? Have fun while you’re there doing your BLUE jobs... LOL We use the same terms as I guess most travelers in rigs do... Have fun & Travel safe...
