Ha! Shades of Roger Miller!
I'm now in Hondo, TX; the Lone Star Corral RV Park, to be exact. I'll always think of them as "One Tar Oral" due to the missing letters in their name on their mailbox. Nice place, and I'm surprised by how pleasing the terrain is. It reminds me a lot of Bandera (not far away from here), where I took Jordan for her sixth birthday. Hill country, indeed. Lots of ranches here. Quite a bit of farmland, too.
The Park is very well laid-out and very, very clean. It's a co-op Park and you can tell people work at making it a nice place to live. Miles away from a good grocery, tho'. The good news is that I'm getting five bars on my Verizon aircard and phone reception is good, too. I'm told that my site is better positioned for Verizon reception than a lot of others here. The bad news is that I can get only one channel on my tv antenna, and it's cartoons. Next stop: Camping World. I've got to get a low-profile satellite antenna for the RV. I don't watch much tv any more, but there are few programs I really want to see. Also, national news programs. It irks me that I'm gonna have to subscribe to another version of "cable tv", but there you have it: I must have my entertainment.
The drive from Houston was mostly uneventful. Dogs dozed the whole way, and I only stopped once. I do love my own personal ladies' room, just feet away from the driver's seat. There was one detour: just east of Columbus, there was an accident and traffic on I-10 westbound was routed about a mile around the accident. I never saw any evidence of it. Tex-DOT was johnny-on-the-spot with traffic cones and personnel to route everyone around Columbus back onto I-10. Very efficient bunch.
More as the days progress...
