Monday, June 23, 2014 – Finally on the Road Again!!

Set the alarm for the crack of dawn, did our final packing within an hour, and were on the road at 7:18 am, raring to go! Unfortunately, Hubby had a terrible night sleep, but we were determined to get out today, no excuses, so off we went. Stopped at H.E.B. to top off our fuel tanks and at Whataburger to do the same for our stomachs, and headed west by northwest! It was already warm by the time we go going, not surprising since it didn’t get below 75 degrees overnight, with high humidity, but we passed through a couple of light rain storms and it cooled down just a bit. Arrived in San Angelo by noon, stopping at H.E.B. for fuel again, then followed the GPS to the State Park. Of course, I had forgotten that the GPS actually takes me to a utility building rather than an office, so we were re-directed to the south park entrance, paid our crazy fees there, then headed another 8 miles to the horse camp. One other camper was there, looked like the host from the appearance of the big corral and bikes laying around. We used the dump first, doing a good flush, then got the horses and everyone else squared away, all settled in by about 2:00, satellite and all. Hubby fell asleep in his recliner, which was a good thing because he was so tired, while I got a few other things done on my computer, including trying to find some hay. More scarce than I thought it would be, this is going to be a challenge! Only spending the night here, as the heat is forecast to be just as scorching as ever, and we want to get north asap! To be VERY early, with the alarm still set for an early morning, as our next leg is an hour longer than today’s.
