Moving East

Sunday morning...time to get up...need to get ready. Yes we are headed out east to a new site. Wont have the "It" factor we are leaving behind but it will be new. I like to be in new spots now and again...but when you find one like we are in now...it sure is hard to give it up.

Above are some pictures of the "It" site and I have to leave it for now.

We had planned on being in a motel this next week but those plans changed overnight. We are now headed to east Texas to spend a week working there. We will not be too far from our friends Weldon and Sandy http://mtnairetravlers.blogspot.com/ ...by the way if you read this we will be calling you.

Most of the time when we work these stores we spend two weeks setting them. That will mean that we will need to extend our stay for another week. We both love east Texas but are real leery about the weather this time of year. I hate to even say the word....Tornado...but this is the time of year that you do not want to be in this area. I guess it is much the same as Hurricanes to the coastal people during that season.

OK so this morning is a pack up and move day for us and we have to prepare ourselves for this. We sat down as usual and drank our two cups of coffee and talked about our future trips to places we want to go. This has become a ritual with us and we love to dream and plan...even though we can't go as yet. We know that the time for that will come soon enough and when it does we want to be prepared.

We have been looking for a new home base in Arizona too. We would love to be there in the winter so we have shifted our thoughts to finding someplace there that we could have a home base. This would also keep us closer to California and Colorado and all the other states we have not seen yet. We find that in Arizona you could stay for many more months due to weather conditions than most places around the country. This would make that move more cost effective.

We got everything packed up and pulled up at the dump station about 10:00 am. Got that done in short order and pulled out of the park and onto the interstate. The trip was uneventful and we enjoyed the scenery along the way. As you go further east the Pines get taller and the Oaks are bigger. We noticed how much the landscape changed and the hills got closer together.

The road to the park seemed to close in on us as we came closer to the gate.

The Pines are taller and taller and taller and then they start to fold over the road and block out the sky.

Then we pulled into our new site and "It" happened...again. Is that cool or what...we hit another "It" and we were happy!

Now it is time to get everything set up before the sun goes down....

You are at my most favorite campsite in Texas. It is absolutely beautiful there and especially even more so in the fall. Enjoy it for us as well:)
