We spent the last two nights camping in Eisenhower State
Park about 1-1/2 hours north of Richardson with Kelly, Nate & Sam. We
arrived early on Wednesday morning and had our pick of campsites. Kelly had
already scoped out a really good site and we were able to secure that. It just
took a few minutes to get backed in & unhitched. (Practice over the last 35
nights of RV’ing has made us pros!) Once situated, we took a walk/bike ride to
check out the other campsites, fixed a light lunch, turned on the AC and put
Sam down for his nap. All the buyers of Escapes in NW US and Canada don’t
understand what it is like camping in Texas in June! Although it is still
“only” in the 90’s, the air conditioner is very much appreciated! During the 2
days camping, we tended to do whatever “cool” things that we could – eat ice
cream, swim, sit inside the air conditioned Escape, sit under the awning &
rain tarp! Seems like in Texas, you spend your time “dealing” with the heat
& bugs! By Friday morning, it was time to head back to Kelly’s. We got an
early start despite a leisurely breakfast of grandpa’s famous “camp eggs” and
were back by lunch time. Kelly’s greyhounds, Monte & Kit Kat were very glad
to see Kelly back home! We will spend a couple more evenings here and then hit
the road for the final leg. The plans call for driving to Lincoln Parish Park
in LA on Sunday. Then, about a week meandering up the Natchez Trace Trail and
finally, the last part of the trip will be spent close to home in the Smokey
Mountains National Park.
