We were headed toward cousin Gary's in Zachary, LA, last Sunday when he called and said the rain had saturated his yard too much and we wouldn't be able to stay there. Or rather, we could get in. . . getting out would be a problem. So we changed plans and stayed at the Denham Springs KOA on I-12 for 2 nights. Weather was warm enough. Left there on Wednesday morning and headed for the coastal bend of Texas. Got to Bay City and still reasonable temps. All that changed that night when a cold front came through. Wind, rain and plummeting temps. We were looking forward to visiting some former haunts, but most everything was gone that we remembered due to hurricanes, etc.
Planned a relaxing time in the sun but it was not to be. So after one full day of rain and wind and cold, we decided to head on down the road. The forecast for every place we wanted to visit was the same for the next week. So we decided to head straight to Mission, Texas, and our winter roost. We were about 325 miles away and planned at least 2 places to stop along the way, but I couldn't stop driving. We pulled into our place at 3 p.m. and are now playing at setting things up under the canopy. Still cold, wet and rainy, but now dry under cover. Duchess is excited about visiting her "old" pee park which she undoubtedly remembers from the smells.
Park not very full, but a few friends are already here. Anxious for warmer weather now!
