Shakedown Cruise

Our First Outing
After a full week of unpacking the old RV, sorting, culling, arranging and rearranging, we finally have our new motorhome, "Bam-Bam" (Linda's name for it), packed and ready to go. So with everything all set, we headed to the state park for our first night. 

Through The Windshield

Since this thing is 8 feet longer, almost a foot wider, and almost 2 feet taller than the old one, we looked forward to the drive. The route to the park was perfect with some busy suburban streets, some freeway, some country roads, and of course backing into the campsite. I'm pleased to report that all three of us, Don, Linda, and Bam-Bam earned high grades.

Spring Comes To Texas (Finally)
Spring is rapidly approaching despite some unseasonably cool temperatures. The trees and bushes are all greening, and the birds are popping up all over. And who can doubt that seeing a bluebird is a positive omen that winter is truly past. And we also saw a group of about nine deer walk right across the front of our campsite. Linda, with her camera at the ready, was able to get a picture.

Our First Bluebird Of Spring

Along with deer and bluebirds, we saw some rabbits and lots of things beginning to green. And with our recent rains Big Creek, which runs through the park, was full and running fast. Yes, despite it still being a bit chilly, spring is definitely arriving.
