Sonora Texas

 

Some may not know who this is in the picture above.  It is Lady Bird Johnson, wife of President Johnson, and it is she who is responsible for all the wonderful wild flowers that we enjoyed today on our trip, especially after we passed San Antonio.  

We enjoyed our stay in Baytown, nice to have cool air to fall to sleep with...and even nicer at 1 am when I turned off the A/C and we enjoyed the cool 65 degree weather.  At 7 am we were already up, and by 7:30 we were on the road.  Buc-ee's for gas and coffee, and an easy drive through Houston on Sunday morning.  San Antonio was a bit harder due to construction to the east of town...but by 2:30 we were in Kerrville, where we planned to stay.  

But WHY ruin a short day?  by 3:15 we were on our way to Sonora, another 110 miles down the road.  We are at a RV park called Elite RV Park, which is part of the Super 8 motel across the street.  All electrical outlets are locked...when you pay, you get a key much like you do a motel key for a motel room.  $35, but we again have electricity, Internet is ok, and having AC with temps of 90+ when we arrived is real nice.

Side note:  Yes, we did take pictures today.  I just did not have the urge to look at them, let alone download, edit, and publish.  Another day...
