Almost Ready

We arrived in Austin Friday afternoon. After two full days of interstates we decided to travel on secondary highways from Texarcana to Austin. There is so much more to see off the interstates and although the route was shorter it only took a little longer to get there. Well worth the extra hour, and NO TRUCKS!

Yesterday I went to the storage yard to start getting the Unit ready. I found it exactly the way I left it. It started right up, the generator too and everything appears to be working.

Tomorrow we move it from storage to a local camp-ground where I still need to fill the water tank, the last item on the long list of things to do.  We'll stay there the one night and on Tuesday, we're off. But not to our planned first stop. 

Two weeks ago I had booked Tuesday through Friday at Mustang Island State Park on the gulf.  The day before we left Toronto I received an email from the park saying that due to storm damage, the park would be closed all this week. Funny how such a little thing can really make a mess of your plans.

I found a solution though. Since the park re-opens on Monday April 4th, when we had planned to be in the Rio Grande Valley, I switched the two. So now we're going to RGV first and then to Mustang Island, before we head off the Big Bend National Park. 

Sorry, not too colourful yet without pictures but we'll have lots of them soon. Stay tuned.

But just to start things off, there's nothing cuter than a Pug puppy. Otis is just 12 weeks old and belongs to Ella, our niece here in Austin.
